Also also, weenie reads on her iphone, which is fucking insane. Why's that insane? I love to read on my iPhone and iPad. I like how whatever page I leave off on one device, it just opens up right there on the other. And weenie there's absolutely nothing wrong with reading brain-candy YA lit -- the first thing I did once I finished my English degree was read the whole Gossip Girl series. But I refused to read the Twilight series because there were too many grammatical errors on the first page I flipped open to in the store.

Anyone actually read their copy of Too Far? I managed to come home with 2 of them. I might be interested in borrowing one of those... Do you still have the accompanying soundtrack?

iPad isn't so insane, but the iPhone screen is just so small. Although I guess I read all kinds of stuff on there so maybe it isn't that crazy, but weenie read the whole Game of Thrones series on there.

Haha, I just downloaded the Game of Thrones to read today. I might regret that one. American Gods turned into like 2 million pages on my phone so I can only imagine how long that book's gonna end up being.

Is there an app for reading on your phone? I would love to get in to that.

You can use the kobo app or the iBooks app for your iPhone Souly. I prefer the iBooks app but they're both free so just try 'em both out.

Souly if reading is the worst addiction you have, then I'd say you're in damn good shape!

Wow, that person really needs a new copy editor. Anyway, this is precisely what I wrote my entrance essay on in order to get into university and that was my main argument: that reading online or through ebooks will never completely replace traditional books because they lack the physical connections of smell and touch. And now look at me: it's been 2 years of reading on iBooks only.

And now look at me: it's been 2 years of reading on iBooks only. Paper books will probably always exist as a novelty and as a preference for hardcore users, like film and LPs, but I think that 99% of books will be read electronically within our lives, which is fine by me. Like I said, I'm all about new shit.
