was it hardback, paperback, audio or an e-book?
paperback
I read Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (for the 25th time) in paperback.
In the last three days, Reaper Man, The Last Continent, Maskerade, and Moving Pictures. all part of the Discworld series.
All paperback, incidentally.
Paperback. Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut (sp?)
Just finished “Invisible Monster” by Chuck Palahniuk
Currently reading -“The Worst Journey In the World” by Apsley Cherry-Garrard.
(Never read hardbacks… they are too hard to read lying down)
I don’t like hardbacks either. They’re expensive, big and don’t fit in a purse.
I love Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club is a great book.
Basically finished two at the same time: one was a paper and the other a hardback that I had picked up at a used bookstore.
I am currently reading a trade-paperback biography.
I like huge paperbacks. Just got finished the Brothers Karamazov, and prior to that Infinite Jest (by David Foster Wallace)–highly recommended, if you can stick with it.
Small Sacrifices… Ann Rule
paperback
Great book. Summer is the time I break out the True Crime novels.
paperback. American Gods by Neil Gaiman
“Once” by James Herbert - Paperback
I picked it up in a hurry before a train ride, I didn’t notice that it was described as “A WICKED ADULT FAIRY TALE” before I began reading it.
It was actually ok except for all the erotic stuff - that was kinda lame.
I work at a bookstore, and we get to borrow (or check out) hardcover books for two weeks, so the last three books I read were hardcover (or “trade cloth” in industry lingo):
Interpreter of Maladies by Jhumpa Lahiri
Atonement by Ian McEwan
Carry Me Across the River by Ethan Canin
Incidentally, the “big” paperbacks are called trade paperbacks, while the smaller ones are called mass-market. It has to do with the quality of paper; I prefer trade pbs just because they are easier for me to read.
Watership Down in paperback. Next will be Maskerade in hardback if I can find it. Its laying around the house somewhere.
I just finished reading The Phoenix Guards by Steven Brust. In paperback.
“Not Quite Dead Enough,” by Rex Stout. It’s a paperback featuring two World War 2-era Nero Wolfe mysteries.
Frankly, while I’ve always liked Stout’s characters, these stories just weren’t very good.
MASH*, trade paperback. Hilariously and most of the characters are very different from both the film and TV series.
“Goddamn nail holes.” - My favorite line in the book.
Steven Porter’s “The Great Fire of London”
Don Watson’s “Recollections of a Bleeding Heart”
both hardbacks … just had a birthday
