Oh my, you and your new fangled ways, we were having this discussion as my bro in law has a Kindle and before that they used to holiday in Malta quite a bit so they would post books in advance to the hotel to save carrying them I love the smell and feel of a book , might try audio just to see if I get on with it, what platform do you use?

I do still love to read a book and the smell and feel of it but I am in the car a lot so it's a good way to kill two birds with the one stone so to speak and the journeys fly by, it's great, plus if I'm doing a bit of work, like I was doing some painting over the weekend and I had a pod cast on while i was doing that. I use Audible, it's €7.99per month, you get 1 free credit with that, so you can buy one book but there's a lot of free books and pod casts on there too so i never really spend more than the flat fee. i usually buy one book and I have a free true crime Pod cast I listen to as well which I still have over a hundred episodes to get through

Like I said elsewhere, My Hidden Race (Anyika Onuora). It’s packed with so much fascinating stuff chapter to chapter and it’s ultimately hugely positive, however (necessarily) heavy the reading is in certain parts.

Thanks Redway, when I'm looking for more of a heavy read I might take a look at this
