As for books...it's alm...Aww V you are a dear!<br /><br />As for books...it's almost always new. I have this weird issue with having books other people have read, handled, etc. I watch some people reading on the subway, and it disgusts me. I hate when I even have to use a library book for research...but yeah...that's me.<br /><br />I also like the real book feel. I have thought about the eBook readers, but when looking at the pricing for the books I like to read, sometimes there is not really that much of a difference. I would rather spend the money and hold the book in my hands, and feel good about supporting the author I love to read.<br /><br />I have tried reading on a computer screen, and when you do it all day at work I really don't want to do it in my leisure time as well (unless it's WoW related of course).Gwenyth Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03827209367845917655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474376685303245715.post-20626310097668655072010-01-13T15:24:36.402-05:002010-01-13T15:24:36.402-05:00I want to see a picture of the actual guinea pig! ...I want to see a picture of the actual guinea pig! lol.<br /><br />I really only have one goal/resolution this year and that's to spend less time burning a silhouette of my head into the office wall behind my desk because of radiation from my monitor being blocked by my face. I don't want my hubby to merit the title "WoW Widower" either :D<br />An added bonus of this goal/resolution is that we'll probably be more active if I come out from behind the keyboard because I can't abide most television programming (/facepalm) so that may keep us off the couch.<br /><br />Question re. books. Do you buy new or used? There're few things I like better than browsing my local used book stores for musty smelling classic sci-fi. This tends to point me in the direction of mis-matched editions but if I really feel I need consistency I can then turn to Ebay or Amazon. I picked up Dune, and Dune Messiah from a bookstore here in London and then when I realized I needed Children of Dune to finish off the set, I went on Ebay and found a 1976 Berkley Medallion edition so my bookshelves are all pretty and match. I think I may have paid about $15 for the entire set including shipping and handling. That sure beats the $8.99 sale price of the current edition of Frank Herbert's Dune on the Chapters site at the moment. Have you got a Kindle yet? (and if you do, please get a big ol' Don't Panic sticker to put on it) That would definitely help save the $... or you could even download ebooks into your netbook. Nothing beats turning an actual page or not being bound to Amazon though, which is why I have yet to succumb. <br /><br />I recently downloaded the entirety of the X-men comics from 001 - current and am reading them on my laptop via .cbr files. I miss the musty newsprint smell!<br /><br />I'm sorry to hear about your physical setbacks lady! Glad you're feeling better and 2010 is looking up. Looking forward to more bloggy goodness to come :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06500191569709283712noreply@blogger.com
