By now, I thought I'd be running out of things to say about
reading paperbacks. Turns out, not quite
yet. Less, yes, but there is still the
experience to talk about.
The Richard Sharpe series is great. I've always read them in paperback even after
I bought a Nook, mainly to keep my collection going. The newest covers are just fantastic.
I was a little wary about bringing my precious new copy of
the book with me on a camping trip.
Problem was I already started reading it. These books are addicting. I wasn't going to be able to go three days
without reading it. Therefore, I packed
it up in a safe spot and brought it along.
I have to say it was neat reading this adventure story while
on an adventure. I've brought the Nook
camping before and had to worry about it getting wet in rainstorm. The same happened here as well, only there
wasn't the same concern over losing something expensive to water. In addition, reading a paperback while out in
the wild felt more natural than when reading on the Nook in the same
setting. Can't really explain it.
The book survived mostly intact (just a bent corner on the
cover) and is now safely home on my shelf next to the other Sharpe's novels.
