I really do enjoy a good book! Why don't you treat yourself to some good reading?

example: Google -> "book title" + "download"

We're very lucky to have the library come to us without leaving the room :mrgreen:

Well, if you already tell people this, one cannot, IMHO, omit Project Gutenberg (and perhaps 8 tips and tricks to get the most of Project Gutenberg).

(And if you want to read about Project Gutenberg, there’s a Wikipedia entry about this ambitious volunteer project).

Most of those books do not look like old classic literature. Personally, if I am going to read I want a bound volume, not a download. I usually have a pile of 5 to 20 of them by my bedside table at any one time waiting to be read.

I think that image was just meant as an eye catcher.

Same here, and not just one pile :-D strategically placed in several places in the house, often also reading more than one book at the same time. Can’t imagine ever being bored.

If I did that my wife would be most upset: one pile is enough for her. But I don't usually have time to read at other times anyway. I do maintain a pile of magazines to be read in one of the smaller rooms in the house. :)
