That reminds me. I want to try out Asda and Tesco online for books too. I saw some dirt cheap books on there while generally browsing over Xmas

I always find Waterstones quite reasonable,maybe cos my books are usually paperbacks which are usually quite cheap anyways. Nearest bookshop to me is the local one but they never have much choice in there so I go to Waterstones in town.

My friend always goes into charity shops for books...I should take up that really, but there's always going to be the sad-arse who pays attention to the stigma of charity shops.

Well that's good. I definitely spend far too much on books but I figure it's not exactly the worst thing to spend too much money on.

I only live in a little town Jaye,50 minutes into the city center,get lots of reading done on the train

They scare me a bit. Well not so much the trains but the stations and getting on them. Weird!

I'd fall asleep on a train if I read a book. I'd end up in London myself That rocking motion....... I'm bad enough being on the tram for more than five minutes here

Oh I'm forever falling asleep on trains. On the way I'm the last stop on the line though so that's grand if I fall asleep. And I've never not woken up on the way in! I only sleep if I'm exhausted though,unless I'll read or listen to music or both.

I learnt from my cousin. She fell asleep and ended up at the opposite side of the city. Living in a big city - it wasn't good
