Can I have it then please? I recently bought one and now want another for a friend. They are not readily available in Southeast Asia.
What model kindle is it? With or without a keyboard?
Perhaps we can come to a barter agreement. There's certain to be stuff here you would like.
You can have it - gratis
Nip round my gaff tomorrow and it's yours
Smear! Wilson and the Secret State, not a book about the introduction of ladies tests, but a fascinating revaluation of Harold Wilson's life and the attempts of the secret services to scupper his plans for the country.
The Stranger's Child - Alan Hollinghurst.
Running with the Krays - Billy Webb
I started reading American Psycho last night, but I don't think I can handle it. It felt like I was being bludgeoned with a hyper-detailed stream of consciousness. I put it down and continued reading that book about Chris Morris - Disgusting Bliss which is much more relaxed reading.
My own term paper. Rrrrrubbish! 
Ironmongery Direct.
Is that the new marvel comic based on the adventures of Ironmans retarded brother?

It might be easier to understand if it was.
The Secret Keeper - Kate Morton. Just started it but it seems intriguing.
Am with keewik on this one. Kindle = work of the devil. Only advantage is that everyone is offloading their books to 2nd hand shops so now my already overflowing bookcases are in requirement of reinforecement. I recently bought 48 books for the pricely sum of $1 each. Thats about 50p.
Anyway, I am currently reading Doctor on the Brain - Richard Gordon and Ooh What A Lovely Pair - Ant & Dec
John Lennon: The Life, by Philip Norman.
Some interesting snippets of new info, but the following passage on the Goons raises questions over the veracity of the rest of it:
Together with a little-known variety comedian named Peter Sellers, Milligan created a gallery of characters who often seemed to have only the most nodding acquaintance with the human race-the decrepit Colonel Bloodnok, the quavery duo of Henry Crun and Minnie Bannister, the moronic Eccles, the supersmooth Grytpype-Thynne, the whining hermaphrodite Bluebottle. Embedded in the madness like hooks in blubber were jibes against previously inviolable national institutions such as the army, the church, the Foreign Office, and even the BBC itself (which the corporation, amazingly, never noticed).
Bluebottle is not a hermaphrodite. Bloodnok is not decrepit, he is a coward. The BBC knew full well when Milligan was taking the piss out of it - with John Snagge happy to join. These dumb errors make the author look dumb. A shame he didn't have an editor to fix such stuff.
Not 'right now' (will somebody please change the title of this thread and get rid of that feckin' Americanism that is taking over the world?) but tempted by this.
Doctor in the Nude - Richard Gordon and Eats, Shoots and Leaves - Lynne Truss
