| 1451858 | 2018-07-22 07:49:00 | Agree here too. Bought a paperwhite when I was travelling overseas a fair bit and especially handy for those long stopovers. I found it had less strain on my eyes than using a laptop or tablet. Supposedly it is because the kindles use reflected light verses the tablet etc being back light. I preferred the paperwhite due to having it's own light where as the others rely on external light sources. | pheonix (36) | ||

And some non-fiction lately, how it was in ancient times, a few medical (Atul Gawande), and one or two Adventure books.(Not murder stories, not monsters, just boring old someone had a bad time type adventure) |

| 1451860 | 2018-07-22 23:24:00 | Definitely recommend these stories by Peter Watts, you need to read them in order, start with Starfish, my favourite was Blindsight: www.rifters.com You can download them for free here: www.rifters.com I've read heaps of SF in my younger days, about 10 years ago I found these books and had a rebirth of reading again, some of the best stories I've read. |

| 1451861 | 2018-07-23 00:05:00 | 'Sirens of Titan' is an oldie , but a goodie . I used to read a lot of Vonnegut's books . I really only read non fiction now . I pretty much gave up on fiction after reading through an interesting sci-fi book, only to have the final outcome of the story was 'he was dreaming the whole thing" . That lazy ending p*ssed me off . |

| 1451863 | 2018-07-23 03:03:00 | Vonnegut...no thanks. Watts - read them all. Thanks. LOL, I read a LOT. It can be hard to recommend any SF I haven't read... Adventure perhaps? |
