    George Packer: Is amazon bad for books?

    Yes I always get the feeling that Readers aren't made for people who want to READ and have 2000 books.

    E-book Etiquette?

    Well as I have no intention of ever using those options on my read and I turn them off this isn't a problem for me :) but I can see that it could be for those of you that do use those options. lol hmm maybe that you like purple or that you read interesting and exiting books? My book cover is...

    Modern classics of all kinds

    Now that is a question that I always wonder about when people start talking bout modern classics, how old must the book be to qualify as a 'classic'? 10 years 50 years?

    E-book Etiquette?

    I to would be suspicious if I saw someone happily paging through my reader, but on thinking past the first reaction what would they really find on it? At worst they might find out that I have an odd and eclectic collection of books but that is nothing really, so why the reaction of instant...

    Best book to movie?

    The fact is that movies will never be the same as the books that inspired them even if everyone who is making is faithful to every page of the book. It can't be done and to be honest I don't think that it would be a good thing if it could be done. :)

    March 2014: March Macabre: Poe vs Dahl

    Yes and she BELIEVED her own lie! Is not that a sign that she was not in any normal or sane state of mind?

    March 2014: March Macabre: Poe vs Dahl

    I still think she went just as crazy as the husband in Poes story rather than being a sociopath, the only difference was the fact that he was more obviously not well and for longer. :)

    E-book Etiquette?

    I would be ok up to a point with people looking at my personal library, but it is odd how we feel differently about it when it our Readers. Maybe it is because a book is always somehow just a thing that I can go to a book store and get another one (yes this is only for normal books not those...

    March 2014: March Macabre: Poe vs Dahl

    Well I would say that did not the wife in Dahl story also suffer from a mental breakdown? What makes her any more sane than the husband that first kills his cat and hurts his animals? As for her not feeling remorse, she might at a later time the same as the husband did but the story does not...

    Best book to movie?

    I still don't think that he has messed with it that badly or that much, but then that is just IMO :)

    E-book Etiquette?

    This is exactly what I was asking about, there is an etiquette with things like reading over other peoples' shoulders being rude, but does that rule change with E-Readers or does it stay the same and with things like asking people what they are reading, is that still nosy or does it become less...

    E-book Etiquette?

    Yes I also do that. I don't think about the device, I think about what I'm reading on it, which is a book.
