Book Club

[JoyFilled Warrior]

Hi @Forum_Folks     

I realize there's a Forum called"  "Book Club."  And appreciate, love & read the topics/responses. Thank you! 

I wanted to open up my question to *Community Chat*  also..

  Did you/Do you read books?    

     Hard/Soft Copy?  Audio?  Online?  Otherwise?

 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

For me:

I still kinda prefer Hard/Soft copy 'cause I'm old, stuck in my ways, & it's what Im used to. 

    I just finished 2 new books, non-fiction, my preference, (unless I have more time). 

But I have a new saved URL for book online I want to read/need to read (esp for my recent awful moving situation sanity)

.

    I have a new Hard Copy book waiting here, & I want to buy one i've seen TV author interviews in the last few days.  

(I *buy* them if I want to put money in the pocket of the Author. 

     Otherwise, Public Library, which oftentimes also have online books to read!  FREE -  written, & audio, even movies   Just ask them for info).

   And of course I have my Best Selling Book of All Time, (that you'll only be able to pry from my cold, dead hands, or, my body/brain has turned to absolute squish.)  I cant imagine anyone wanting it, cause it's filled with my own colored markings, notes, references & more.

Books, wise - I wish I had more time.  But that is the story of my life!!

How 'bout you, & books, aka reading?

@JoyFilled Warrior  My favorite way to read a book is to have a paper version and also listen to the audio book, preferably read by the author. 

I don't know what to do with my eyes if it is the audio book only and I'm easily distracted with just a paper book. The combination helps me focus better.

I tend to read mostly nonfiction but just got the first 6 books in Sue Grafton's alphabet mystery series. I've read them before but they are favorites.

@JoyFilled Warrior Why put this here when as you said it should be on the Books forum?

Hi @willdob3  

I hear/read ya.  Me too!!

Seems like something physical in the hands when reading.  heh 

I thought it was cause Im so old, & used to physical books.

(added)   Just remembered.  Also, I often write notes, &/or Highlight on the Hard copy of the books I read.  And remember those highlighted parts.  I have immediate reference for going back when conversing abt that particular part

I recently bought a new iPad.

I'm still deciding on what Halloween cozy mystery to read.

 I read a couple hours a night, in bed.  I prefer paperback versions, as hard cover books are heavier and more difficult to hold up when I'm lying down.  (Arthritis in my wrists, among other places.

I have the Barnes & Noble thing on my phone, but I don't like reading off the phone, I've discovered.  I guess I'd use it on a trip or a long stay waiting for someone ... for emergencies when I have time to kill.   

I tried reading a short story off my phone one night and I dozed off and the phone hit me in the face! 

Almost broke a tooth!  Not doing that again.

I think you'd get more responses in the book forum since you can't post in both places.  For example, I'm not a book reader but this is where I post.

I like reading hard-cover books,  mostly non-fiction.  I have purchased many through Amazon.  Once a book has been out for a while, or it is an old favorite, I have gotten great buys from their "used book" section.
