Rewriting history, the libertarian climate change conundrum, and just what do you buy with that $5 million...
I'm currently reading the new Robert Crais book which is something of a novelty, as being in the Caribbean you just don't get a book on its publication day. The usual way of things is seeing that Crais
has a new hardcover out and waiting till it comes out in paperback then
ordering it from Amazon. So, by that standard, I'd be getting my hands
on "Taken" sometime in January of 2013.
Part of the problem of waiting for books to come out in paperback
is the avoidance of reviews and any mention of an eagerly awaited book
because of possible spoilers and suchlike. I mean, don't you hate when
you find out who did it a year before you get to read the damn book?
Being boatfolk, the answer was never to buy the hard cover as it's expensive and they take up too much precious shelf space...
Speaking of shelf space, I already have eighty-five books on my Kindle (most of those free as it happens) and they range from "The Riddle of the Sands" to "Boats with an Open Mind" (for some reason the Bolger no longer seems available on Kindle) on the nautical front
and "Dracula" to the most current Crais novel in fiction...
At this rate I'm going to be able to have lots and lots of books as well as have room enough for a new double neck guitar.
Is progress cool or what?
