I had a kindle books thread at the other place, so I'll start one here.

I picked up this book today for just 99p as it was recommended and looks interesting


How to be a Bad Birdwatcher: To the Greater Glory of Life by Simon Barnes

"Look out of the window. See a bird. Enjoy it. Congratulations. You are now a bad birdwatcher. Anyone who has ever gazed up at the sky or stared out of the window knows something about birds. In this funny, inspiring, eye-opening book, Simon Barnes paints a riveting picture of how bird-watching has framed his life and can help us all to a better understanding of our place on this planet. How to be a bad birdwatcher shows why birdwatching is not the preserve of twitchers, but one of the simplest, cheapest and most rewarding pastimes around."

If I'm right, it was our new member Palta who posted it on the Amazon forum. (and we annoyed people by talking about the forum rather than books )

This has nothing remotely to do with Kindle books (precisely the opposite actually) but it's just for JooMoo .......

BOOK: A written work of fiction or nonfiction transcribed in a set of bound paper pages. Never needs charging. Never malfunctions. Can be read in the bath. No instructions necessary. Can be signed by the author. Collectible. Doubles as a flower press or door-stop. Smells good. Bookshelves full of them give a room a certain something. Doesn't mind sand on the beach. Can be passed on to friends.

I know.
But if I'm reading a paper book and I want a cup of tea and a biscuit, one of them will have to be put down.
With a kindle, it can be on my lap and I can nudge the page turn with my knuckle, getting a reduced amount of crumbs in the creases.

This is on the reverse of a bookmark I got today in an old (to you !!) book I tracked down and sent for from a great little bookshop called Bookbarn. I read it, laughed, and thought, "That's for JooMoo !!!" .

Actually, I ordered it, and its mate, from Abebooks and they found it from Bookbarn.
Beat eBay and Amazon .

Don't know whether this is a 'Kindle' book but at the moment Chris Packham is BBC Book of the Week. Quite a story.
