Phil: As I sit in my Doncaster hotel room, I’m wishing I’d brought something to read. I’m comfortable enough and I could watch TV but it’s far too early for that and anyway, it’s all football at the moment. What I want is a book.
Trouble is, my book on the go at the moment is One Summer by Bill Bryson.
Great book, but in hardback form, it weighs the same as a small child. Great workout for the reader, but too heavy to lug on the train.
I suppose this is where e-books score. I could have downloaded it on to the tablet computer I use to write this, but then I’d need to bring a charger. Anyway, it’s a signed copy and good as Bryson is, I don’t want him scribbling on my Asus.
So, today’s reader advice is, embrace the pulp paperback. It’s portable and handy for a few minutes distraction. In the meantime, I’ve nicely used up a few minutes, so it must be time for breakfast…

I do think the book looks pretty though! 🙂 Haven’t read a Bill Bryson in a while either. May have to run off for the light version
The paperback version, which Candice has for holiday reading, is a lot more manageable. It’s a good read though whichever version you have.
Thank you. Am off on my hols in a while so it’s on my list
I agree, it’s a fantastically absorbing book and the paperback is far more practical
