I love books
but hate the fact that I have nowhere near enough time to read as I would like.
I also hate the fact that my house has far far too many books in it.

I would love to read more classics and hope to do so before I die.
I'm currently reading this: www.guardian.co.uk/books/2006/aug/12/featuresreviews.guardianreview31
Which has two interest for me in that I know the author (namedrop) and that it is set in my city.

You are correct about Dickens, he is shit. That sentiment would have taken him three pages to express. I'm far too busy for that twaddle.

No such thing as too many books
I truly hope e books don't kill te printed tome in the way mp3 killed CDs.

I get it, for going on holiday it makes sense. But no one will write in the front of an e book

You haven't seen my house
You can't move for fucking books.
Also, mp3s may have killed CDs but it was a mercy killing and they helped revive vinyl.
