I got mine at Costco.
Where did you find the Calvin and Hobbes?
Glimpses of the Moon by Edmund Crispin
"Professor Gervase Fen is in Devon working on his masterpiece critique of the modern novel, but keeps getting distracted - by the local animals (several pigs, a mildly insane cat, a horse with sleeping sickness), by the spectacular failures of the local electrical board, by the vicar's practical jokes, by the retired major yearning for another jolly war. Oh, and by the dismembered body, found in a nearby field, whose head keeps turning up in the most unlikely places."

I am SO beyond tired of books that have phrases like "she stared into his steely eyes and felt something lurch in her stomach"!! (That was from a book called Hidden by Kendra Elliot that was supposed to be a mystery where the only real mystery is why was it ever published and why people gave it hundreds of 5 stars!)
So I'm going back to some real writing. Glimpses of the Moon has a piquant English sense of humor also and is a bit old fashioned. That's quite all right with me! So far no steely eyes or lurches in the stomach.
You're welcome---- it's not that hard to copy paste a review and give the url to it. Come on, guys.Thanks for the nice review Cave. It's a real help when people say something about what they're reading instead of just leaving a title.
I am so un-enamored with the Kindle that I wouldn't even consider it. I just cannot give up my dead tree books.
just wondering if any of you are enrolling in that new kindle free book program? i'm having a hard time determining if spending $10 a month for unrestricted access to the huge kindle library would be a practical deal for me. it sure is a mighty tempting one. if i do decide to go with a trial kindle subscription, i will cancel my hulu+ membership to help offset the cost.

I don't have time to make good use of it. Plus.. do I need an actual Kindle device (not the app) like the lending library? Cause I have a prime membership and can't use the lending thing because I don't have an actual Kindle anymore.
Heretic.
Do you listen to music on dead tree vinyl too?

why is that, pf? sorry, i've probably missed some postings on the subject.
I felt the same at first and I still love my dead tree books. Cluttered book shelves are a necessary part of my decorating scheme. But I've warmed up to it because:
1. Instant gratification. I see a book I want and it's downloaded within a minute. No need to wait for it in the mail or go out and try and hunt it down in a store.
2. Being able to enlarge the font is really nice. My eyes sight is declining. I ordered a book on Amazon recently and when it came in the mail the font size was so small it was unreadable for me, unless I wanted a headache. I donated it to Goodwill and will down load it so I can read it without a magnifying glass.
3. I love reading in bed but it disturbed DH when I would turn pages, etc. Now I can just turn the page with a click of the forward button, no need to shift hands, rustle sheets, etc.
Keep it in mind, especially if you start noticing the small font issue is starting to effect your reading pleasure.
