I have finished Lord of the Rings for the third time! 6 books in 7 months. "I shall now diminish, and sail into the West". But at the same time, "I think Im quite ready for another adventure!" lol.

I will be bringing back a bunch of Louis L'amour books from my parents house very soon. Almost all his titles. Going to start on those when I get them back here. I have read all of them a couple of times. Damn technology has definitely kept me away from reading an actual book the last 20 years. My current eyesight could be a reason as well...LOL

Right on! Yeah I havent been a fan of the e-books, but the latest e-reader my brother showed me recently wasnt that bad to read. They have made improvements on them over the years. I still like a real book though.

I haven't read a "book" in years. iPad for me.



Books have to be stored and kept somewhere...I can fit thousands on my iPad.

What if we are hit with an EMP, and there goes all forms of entertainment for a few years. I will be glad I can read about Bilbo and the dragon, and Frodo and the ring. Hell any "event" that happens, those are going right in my backpack. I have a set of leather bound paperbacks, small enough to take with me.

I have LOTR in print.



And a few favourites.



But if I had to store ALL the books I read, we'd need a massive bookcase...and I HATE bookcases.

I gotcha man lol. I have a couple book cases lol. My great grandfather had an attic with shelving going all around it full of books. They were all westerns.

Never saw the point of reading a book, then sticking it in a shelf to collect dust. Read it, sell it, buy another one. Bookshelves and cases are tacky.

Also it shows ones interests. If someone were to look at it, they would get a peek at your personality to a degree and what you like. Plus some books are worthy of reading again  ac_smile

Which is another reason I hate the damn things. It's nobody's business but mine what I read. I once saw a copy of Mein Kampf in a guy's bookshelf, and he was hugely embarrassed until I told him it was cool. He can read whatever he wants. He wasn't a Scouse, just curious. But he realised that keeping books on public display could be damaging to his reputation.



But some like to display their intellect, and that's OK, too.

I gotcha. Didnt mean it like displaying their intellect, just in general. My bookcases are always in my bedroom, so maybe thats why it dont matter to me much if its seen or not, but honestly it doesnt bother me when someone does look at my bookshelf. Its full of Stephen King mostly lol.
