TrjnRabbit Mort - Terry Pratchett.
I got 26 Discworld books on my computer, it's now my goal to read all the ones that I haven't read in a while by the end of the holidays. Shouldn't take much really, there aren't many I haven't read in a while. I can't read books on the computer at all - the damn PDF files are just so....ughh. Plus, books put me to sleep and so, due to my current lack of portable computing hardware (damn, I need a laptop), I find it pretty hard to read books on the computer in bed. Hmm...but I do have a wireless mouse, and i'm sure my computer monitor is less than 5kgs...if I only had a monitor extension cable... xd

Haha, trust me, with a laptop, you simply have it resting on the matress next to you and ^^
Oh, and my books are in *.html, *.doc, *.txt and *.rtf format (theres some *.xml s but I don't really use those ones). So I use safari or word to read them.
I can't read books on a normal computer setup, latops are completely different though.

I'm guessing the macs would go best with my ipod and the wireless internet at home, but I need it for uni mostly. Anyhow, way off topic - I'm still reading my management text book (or should be right now).

Well, I don't know what your wireless uni network is like, but I'll let you in on a secret, this laptop pwns for picking up wireless networks at uni ^^
I just don't like windowsx networking, but anyhow, enough off topic.
Same book, same paragraph, but the window is still open, just hidden.

you should have a look at Harry Potter when a new one comes out, or the latest Discworld book when that comes out, the reserves on them go to the hundreds in my local library. And I go to Logan libraries, no Brisbane Council, which is less popular.

Teikou To quote someone, "Magic and dragons and stuff, is pretty much for like guys, that are like, never going to have sex and stuff" xd I think someone's having a very poor attempt at a degrading joke. I havn't pre-ordered Harry Potter because that's hard-back. Due, as if. Paper back only. Also, coming out this year; a new Robin Hobb book, new Song of Ice and Fire and new The Wheel of Time si what I'm looking forward to. 3nodding
