Good friend, you & I need to spend some quality time together on my next day off (Tuesday! So soon!). Reading is awesome. Also awesome: talented friends and friends-of-friends who let you read advances of their novels. I also have a nice stack of those paperback things to work my way through because I have to ditch (almost) all of my stuff to move to the other side of the world.
If you enjoy reading and travel/commute or just want to declutter your life a little then I highly recommend that you purchase an e-reader.
