AquaBlue, can you not just type the name of the book like everyone else? All these graphics affect the loading time of the page. :mad:


Anyway, my latest purchases, because I can't stop myself buying:
  • Selected Short Stories, Rabindranath Tagore
  • We, Yevgeny Zamyatin

I agrre with Stewart on this and I know we have asked before for it to stop and it was laughed off. I think of this thread as a quick way to glance through and see what people are buying and the pictures are too big, take awhile to scroll through and I don't want all my images turned off. There are several threads on book covers were it would be more appropriate for someone to share covers they like, for example http://www.bookandreader.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9044&highlight=book+covers

Ooh yay! Have read more now, finished the first part, and wow! It's tremendously weird! Never thought I would need to reread anything other than our Nabokov's, but I will.

"The New York Trilogy" is one of my favourite books. I must have read it three times. I think I'm starting to understand what it's about. :D Sounds like I'll like Nabokov too then...

Oh, I'm glad it's not just me!

But how could anyone not like Nabokov? That would be the true puzzle. :confused: ;)
 
Just purchased Eats, Shoots & Leaves by Lynne Truss. I had to get it after I saw the limited edition grammar repair kit.:D
 
I ordered A Scot's Quair by Lewis Grassic Gibbon from ebay earlier..for just $3.51, including shipping. Soon I'll be able to read....The Rest of the Story!

(Lucky for you guys I'm not computer savvy enough to post a picture)
