Thought of this when you described what you like. Good read, pretty sure you've checked it out if your inclined to reading this style of writing.

Read it, loved it. I probably don't need any Atwood rec's, as I'm well aware I love her writing and have been moving down the list of her works, but thank you, because that's just the kind of thing I look for.

Kate Atkinson | Books | Emotionally Weird

I'll try again. I finished this book a few months back. I find her writing very engaging and well thought out. Some of her other books might be more popular such as case stories, I still found emotionally weird very entertaining.

Amazon says I can get a copy for 6 cents. Well worth a gamble.

Oh you have a kindle? I just swapped books with my aunt, she sent me about 500 titles. You should look into swapping books with friends.

Nah, I purchase from the used market.

Good idea. I've had a kindle for about 6 months and my verdict is I like it, but it's not the same as a real book. I think I'm going to start perusing the used books on Amazon.

I still do both. I frequent a local bookstore The Bookman. My Kindle is nice for trips and vacations, but i still like the feel of the real thing.

Yeah, I'm not really crazy about the idea of a kindle. I'm still the kind of person who writes better on paper than on a computer, and I think that also translates into reading.

I don't understand this logic.

I have a kindle too, and my main problem is finding more obscure books in digital form.

I never said it was logical. I just prefer the feeling and idea of a book.
