Still waiting for my Nod.

Tried to get it from the library but apparently there's no copy in the whole of the county.

However, I have finished The Confessions of X.

I know that it is heresy but the beauty of a kindle is that I don't get shouted at for amassing books anymore. My library is either on the device or in the cloud.

I used to be a purist and really sentimental about my book collection but I am not that bothered about it now. My only reservation is that I wish that I could source books from places other than Amazon (without having to do something illegal or immoral).

My OH bought me a kindle as we were running out of space for all my books. I also love the fact that no-one knows what I'm reading, so if I want to read trash I can!! But agree with you Sera, that it would be nice to be able to source from places other than Amazon.

Is it ironic that I feel asleep while reading Nod on the tube journey home? ;-)
