Just out of curiousity, how many of us use our local library a lot?
I wish I started using mine sooner than I have... great place to go read at lunchtime - so relaxing!
I have recently borrowed:
JPod by Douglas Coupland Boxing for Beginners by Bill Finegan with Courtney Clark Own your Space by Linda McCarthy
Still updating my account on Goodreads too. Is anyone keeping a 2011 goal on there? I hope to hit 75 books...!

I'm very much a Clive Cussler fan and all his books regarding Dirk Pitt, NUMA, etc. I love the fantasy books that could actually be turned into good films :0
Anyone notice something by the way.......
Think I may have found one of the few message boards that Novorapidboi HASN'T commented on  Only kidding mate

Bit of a zombie/phoenix thread, but hey, what have you been reading lately these days?
I've been trying out some Dean Koontz lately, currently reading The Good Guy. I've been really enjoying his writing style and look forward to checking out more of his books. 
While we're here, can anyone recommend an e-reader? Thanks!

Currently reading Dodger - Pratchett on form, a cracking read.

Nice one. I really should read more Pratchett books myself. Thanks for your opinion on e-readers. I know what you mean with the ipad issues... I try reading ebooks on my HTC smart phone but I think my eyes start to suffer after a while so I keep thinking about getting a proper reader mainly because of the screen...

Oh my fellow book worms! There's an E-book Humble Bundle if you're interested in grabbing a good deal and donating to charity! http://www.humblebundle.com/ This is unusual because the humble bundles are usually PC games. I was so surprised! I'm going to snap them all up! 
Info at a glance:
The Humble eBook Bundle
Eight works of literary genius. Humble eBook Bundle features eight masterful works from a prodigious league of award-winning authors. Name your price and receive: Pirate Cinema Pump Six and Other Stories Zoo City Invasion: The Secret World Chronicle Stranger Things Happen Magic for Beginners
Customers who beat the average will also receive Old Man's War and the graphic novel Signal to Noise!
Pay what you want. This collection of fantastic stories would typically cost around $52, but we’re letting you set the price!
Compatible with computers and mobile devices. These books are available in multiple formats including PDF, MOBI, and ePub so they work great on your computer, eBook readers, and a wide array of mobile devices! Please note that this is the digital debut for some of these great titles, and if you’re having any viewing or usability issues, please let us know!
Support charities and authors. Choose how your purchase is divided: to the authors, the Electronic Frontier Foundation, or the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. And if you like this promotion, a tip to the Humble Bundle would be greatly appreciated!
Enjoy if you do take advantage!
