I haven't seen a Saramago in BookSale. However, I'm still kicking myself for not buying that Blindness hardcover that I saw in NBS. It was almost new, a first edition, and just Php 100. Argh!<br /><br />Kaz, I'm gonna download them now!Peter S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17363239232633174946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-68917141274854371322012-08-03T11:25:08.062+08:002012-08-03T11:25:08.062+08:00You've known Jack longer than I have - how hav...You've known Jack longer than I have - how have you managed not to read them yet??? When the man insists, he really INSISTS, in the nicest possible way, of course!! There are links to his sites on my post...a hint in vintage Jack style!<br /><br />They really are great fun. I wouldn't say so if I didn't think so - I'm not that nice!Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883203750700550391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-81964358563592022982012-08-03T11:05:49.191+08:002012-08-03T11:05:49.191+08:00Okay, now that photo is clearer.

I'll wait for the other books to either be discounted or appear at Book Sale branches. (But sometimes, I can't help it.)<br /><br />That was off-topic. Anyway, I used to be unable to read with other people around, but I "trained" myself to at least be able to read with people quietly milling about the surrounding area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7879483355240373611.post-18999906211883077492012-08-03T09:25:55.969+08:002012-08-03T09:25:55.969+08:00Hi, Kaz!

DB and Sixteen have learned that if they want to speak to me when I'm reading, they have to make a point of standing in front of me and breaking my focus on the book - because I've grown very adept at tuning everything around me out completely. When they complain, I remind them that if they have the TV on, I have to do exactly the same to get their attention - even during ads... - so I reckon it's a fair swap.<br /><br />Ditto the actual book. Have never read an eBook. Don't want any of the gadgets that enable eBook access - although, apparently my iPhone has the option - I'm just choosing to stay ignorant of the process!<br /><br />I DID read the first of Jack's steampunk stories on sheets of printed A4 paper - which was kind of weird, and had its own amusing points - see my post on that! But, lacking those in any hard copy format, that was the only option. I'd just love to see them published as a collection in a funky little fat, distressed leather bound, neo-vintage hard cover...conceptually I think that would be entirely appropriate!<br /><br />Cheers,<br />KKazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883203750700550391noreply@blogger.com
