    Well, a couple of weeks in & to be fair i love it, chucked about six books
    on it (no ladybird or janet & john you cunts) & i find myself picking it up
    much more than i would a book & the screen is just the best screen i have
    ever read from. My 11 year old even commented on it's clarity & depth.

    For the money it's hard to beat really.

    Anyone read 'Senor Nice' by Howard Marks? I'm nearly at the end of Mr Nice,
    which is a bloody good old read if you, like me hadnt read it.

    Go buy one, right now.

    go on, try "The Marriage of Cadmus and Harmony" - it'll make a change
    from no-one being able to understand you to you not understanding
    anything. Oh wait, no it won't ;-)

    **** that, i once tried Shakespeare, **** should have been called
    'unintelligble drivel **** bastard bitchboy..speare' what a load of fucking
    tripe.

    Whilst i do understand most of that kind of fucking crap, i prefer to use
    the few cells i have left to watch coronation street & read things that
    interest me, like wanking with my left hand, by JR handshaft.

    If you rub the two of them together vigorously, will you be able to make
    fire?

    Plays are for watching, not reading.
    Just as you would prefer to ride rather than read the workshop manual....

    I still think Lear one of the best things I've read. Mind you, I
    had the unexpurgated and annotated version while the English teacher read
    to us from the Authorised School Version. Totally missed out the passage

    KENT: Thou whoreson zed! thou unnecessary letter! My lord, if you will
    give me leave, I will tread this unbolted villain into mortar, and daub
    the wall of a jakes with him. Spare my gray beard, you wagtail?

    CORNWALL: Peace, sirrah! You beastly knave, know you no reverence?

    [jakes -- toilet]

    Ah, I never realised Tarantino was modernising Shakespeare. Then
    again, I've never knowingly watched other than clips from a Tarantino film.

    Having recently tried to read King Lear in preparation to going to see
    Derek Jacobi in the title I wholeheartedly agree.

    I have not enough ding to stress my agreement with this point.

    Yes, I cherish those books I had signed with a personal dedication by the
    author.
