GR book cover

[Bekah]

That was great - thanks.  One of the things I miss about paper books is the cover art.  I might start buying paper books which have exceptional cover art -  I still buy them for some current translated works (no ebook available)  and books with good graphics -  Last year's stats are -  ta-da: 

152  books total -    76 ebooks (50%),   54 audio books (35%),  and 22 paper format (15%).  I have 3 or 4 more ebooks and 2 audios (maybe 3)  to finish by the 31st.   I have serious tbr pile of paper books but next to none of the ebook or audio book variety as I figure the store inventories are my tbr pile.  

Perhaps of more general interest,  I did finish NW (Zadie Smith),  definitely one of the most interesting books I read all year.   It's been compared to Joyce but I think that's only in the stream of consciousness and the specific mapping of a part of town.  It's certainly not as dizzyingly, dazzlingly, dense with elliptical allusions and references.   Highly recommended -
