hiroz:Thanks, dear. I prefer hard copies. I buy them at my School's bookstore, sometimes Chapters - if they have them. Sometimes I order them from Amazon. Sometimes I'm lucky and can find them at a local library. I've gone the e-book route a few times in the past, but I typically prefer to have my books in my hand when studying or doing assignments, not stare at a screen. You can order them, but if you're in Nigeria I'm not sure how you would go about it. Do you want to read those particular topics for leisure/fun or to help with classes and/or gain more knowledge? Great thread, btw. Infomizer:Thanks. Nice list. 1 Like |

hiroz: i prefer hardcopies, but here is the problem. Many of the books i read, you cant find them in the bookstores here, (where i stay), so i go for e-books. It depends, but for 300-500 pages, averagely 5 days. (I cant really say) 2 Likes |

hiroz:-Yes, I have. -No, I don't. hiroz:LOL. I have always loved books myself. As a kid, I spent a great deal of time at libraries. I went there often during the summer and would practically stay there till closing time. Back in junior high, you'll either find me at the school library playing chess or reading. Till now, I still love libraries. I love bookstores too! Whenever I go to the mall, I head over to the bookstores before anywhere else and if I'm ever at Starbucks, you would always find me at their bookstore. 2 Likes |

hiroz:its like mixing both banana and strawbery in a fruit juice, the book is a total page turner... Be warned if you have any exams do not read. You wouldnt concentrate. If your a fan of greek mythology its an eye opener into that world. Am really sad 'cause it has come to an end as the last book in the sequel of percy jackson, the "heroes of olympus" which is the "blood of olympus" is finaly out... Like another harry potter it leaves another space void.. Til february where Another series would evolve. Its a TOTAL MUST READ |
