I'll try again. I finished this book a few months back. I find her writing very engaging and well thought out. Some of her other books might be more popular such as case stories, I still found emotionally weird very entertaining.

Amazon says I can get a copy for 6 cents. Well worth a gamble.

Oh you have a kindle? I just swapped books with my aunt, she sent me about 500 titles. You should look into swapping books with friends.

Nah, I purchase from the used market.

Good idea. I've had a kindle for about 6 months and my verdict is I like it, but it's not the same as a real book. I think I'm going to start perusing the used books on Amazon.

I still do both. I frequent a local bookstore The Bookman. My Kindle is nice for trips and vacations, but i still like the feel of the real thing.

Yeah, I'm not really crazy about the idea of a kindle. I'm still the kind of person who writes better on paper than on a computer, and I think that also translates into reading.

I don't understand this logic.

I have a kindle too, and my main problem is finding more obscure books in digital form.

I never said it was logical. I just prefer the feeling and idea of a book.

Reminds me of people who enjoy vinyl and cd's rather then an ipod or mp3 player. Theres something about having the real thing in your hand. I do both but certainly prefer a regular book. As described above there are fewer books available on the kindle, so its only natural to gravitate towards bookstores. I enjoy the aspect of being at bookstores also, its kind of calming and i find it fun.

I love book stores but I'm usually in them so long that I have to pee and then it becomes a rush to decide upon a book before I wet my pants.
