I love reading books – I’ve tried using an e-reader on my phone and things like that which is good if I’ve forgotten to take a book with me somewhere but there is something about reading a paper book – turning the pages and seeing how far you are through it and things like that.

So the picture above isn’t my mail but I found it on Flickr and decided to use it. I also love mail, like proper through your front door or in your mail box letters. Okay so most of the time they are junk or bills but I love proper letters. To me I think it’s something to do with that an email can be written in seconds and sent off whereas a proper letter has time taken over it.

(Am I making sense?!)

So I tend to sit at the bottom of our staircase and read the letters there or lean up against the work top in the kitchen. I have been known to park in the hallway directly behind the door (not good in most houses that have inward opening front doors).

    Nice to hear that the demise of the printed word is over rated. I keep hearing that everyone below the age of 30 will never by books and that the i-Pad, kindle or whatever are the future. Books offer such wonderful surprises and thought I might add a few books that maybe you and others may enjoy:
    Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks – WW1 epic woven around a tragic love affair – best of 20C?
    A Small Island – Andrea Levy – Post War immigration at its most real
    Brave New World – Aldous Huxley – If you like 1984 you will love this!
    Silas Marner – George Eliot – her most endearing novel – couldn’t stand it at school, but now I love it!
    Other favourites – The Girl at the Lion d’Or, On Green Dolphin Street, Charlotte Grey – all by Sebastian Faulkes
    Keep on reading!

      I’m about to read War and Peace by Tolstoy when I get round to it. I’m reading two books at once for different groups at church which is a little challenging so I can’t really throw Tolstoy in there as well at the moment!

      Think I might try the George Eliot one at some point thanks for the recommendation 🙂

      And one day I might buy an iPad but for now I don’t have the use for it.
