I’m at the final book on the final pages of a James Ellroy trilogy, its a fantastical tale of intrigue where the state and organised crime murder the president and his brother and also Martin Luther King jnr, couldn’t make it up really, too far fetched

I stopped buying actual books about 5 years ago. I read about a book a week it was getting too expensive. I have a Kindle that I read books on. I signed up to my local library and now I download books to my Kindle for free. You can get new books as well as old books and classics. There are a bunch of sites on the net that have extensive libraries that allow you to down load for free as does the library of Congress. Saved me a ton of money. I miss holding a actual book but I like saving the $$$

I like my kindle for travelling, but I still buy (mostly second hand) books, the world without bookshops would be a terrible place, support your local bookshop

Great subject and conversation @Karly-chan . I’m not a book reader unfortunately for me, due to time restraint’s. However I do try and read, what some call the good book daily. And thanks for reminding me, as I have missed some days lately, reading.

lol yes it’s true that some books are expensive, but I like to have the feeling of the book in my hands, because I spend all day working in front of a computer, so I really don’t want to read books on Tablet . and then i read a lot of webtoons online

Where I live we have “lilliput libraries” spread throughout the city and suburbs. Waterproof cabinets that hold roughly 20 to 50 books. Donate a book, take a book. When you finish reading the chosen book, return it to a different lilliput and choose another book. Or simply donate a book you really enjoyed and want to share. We have got some great reads out of there and always keep a few donate books in our vehicles just in case.

Jeez, Swamptrash. You read Walter Tevis. Now James Ellroy. You’re like a brother from another mother! Tell me you love my hero and inspiration, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

For some reason Kurt Vonnegut passed me by, I was aware of his books particularly slaughterhouse 5 but for some reason never read it or Kurt. I think I will give him a try when I finish what I’m reading now. I will let you know how I get on.
Bukowski, McCarthy are two of my favourites, also a fan of Marlon James and recently been reading a lot of David Mitchell

Hope " killing men and getting away with it" is pure fictional:)

I guess the question was what I am reading. I picked up Rinker Buck’s Life on the Mississippi. He builds a flatboat and floats down the Monongahela, the Ohio and the Mississippi to New Orleans, a la the settlers of the early nineteenth century.
The author had earlier caught my eye with The Oregon Trail, in which he takes a covered wagon across the west.

you suddenly like everything that involves investigation and murder
hoo it’s good, libraries for me are a parallel world, I’m talking about real libraries, it’s not with all computers and all electronic objects that spoil it a bit.
