what book are you reading ?

Interested to know whether posters on here prefer physical books or a kindle? I bought a kindle during first lockdown but only bothered with two books... something about holding a book and seeing the progress is making me want to start a collection.

But then when I'm done with them I won't want them taking up space. First world problems and all that!

Physical book every time - tried a kindle but it's not the same

I also like to keep them after I've read them, much to Senora Malaguena's distress #bloodybookseverywhere

Kindle every time.
 
Much prefer ebooks now. I mainly read on my MacBook, phone or iPad so wouldn't bother using a physical Kindle. I still buy quite a few physical books as well but rarely novels. I've very recently got into audiobooks and am now an addict!
 
Working my way through The Saxon Tales (The Last Kingdom on Netflix).

Really enjoyed them so far. Up to book 6, starting to get a little repetitive but still good.

I read Erebus by Michael Palin just before Christmas which was excellent.
 
Mixed response on the book vs kindle question I asked, which is exactly how I feel on it!

The only book I received over Christmas was 'Not a Life Coach' by James Smith. I read his previous 'Not a Diet Book' which was a good insight, so looking forward to reading this one.

I've also snagged 1984 and Animal Farm for free on Amazon, not sure if the deal is still available though.

The autobiography of Philip Schofield. It's a beautifully written story of....

But seriously, a biography of Sam Peckinpah.

There was a good documentary on Sam Peckinpah a couple of nights ago, I think on Sky Arts. On his excellent film Cross of Iron the actors and other staff worked for nothing towards the end of the film when the film producers ran out of cash. They said they did it for Sam and their belief in his film.

Yeah, seen it before and devoured it! Great doc. The bio I'm reading is called 'If they move... kill him'; a reference to 'The Wild Bunch'. That man LIVED! What a story!

Some top stuff on Sky Arts and that new doc channel is very good. Looking forward to seeing the Steve McQueen one about the lost movie he made.
 
Wandering around North East football (led by Harry Pearson) other wise known as The Farther Corner. Its one of those books that makes me laugh out loud at times and brings back memories of watching Northern League games and they people who attended them.

Boxing Day or New Years Day 1983/4 I remember seeing South Bank v Whitby Town at Normanby Road at lunch time, perched on a cinder bank then walking up to the Trunk Road and a long to Ayresome to see a Boro game. Few buses on a Boxing Day/NYD and I didn't have a car or anyone available to drive me. Bobby Saxton was at the South Bank game, I think he was manager of Blackburn at the time. Some decent players at Whitby then, a couple became professional I believe.
