Oh don't get me wrong. Like my iPod I can see the benefits. I just don't like how 'they' try and coerce people into something they may not wish to do/buy.
It's like cinema's showing a film in 3D only.... agreed! My ipad makes my life so much easier with work and travel. Funny how there is still nothing better than sitting down with a brand new hard cover book. Im really sad to think that real books are going to be rare someday. | |

| On the final part of The Strain trilogy by Guillermo Del Toro and Chuck Hogan. A Vampire saga with a difference. Very brutal and a shocking image of a world under a nuclear winter. Far better than all the recent RomVamp crap that is stinking up the literary world. | |

|  - Nothin to Lose: Very interesting and all four members are quite respectful toward each other(shame this isn't repeated in life). However it does tend to go into detail on some very minor things. I get that the Coventry/Hotel Diplomat was a shit hole. No need to repeat every other page! I am also guessing that a lot of it is comprised of archive material & interviews as several of the main players are sadly no longer with us. | |
