About once a month I go on a shopping spree and buy lots of books. And I read the newspaper every morning.
Sorry, I can't really help you there, I only purchased the first bookSamuelT said:
But, if the second and third books are anywhere near as good as the first one... then perhaps.
I'd hate to recommend something that could cost you money that you may not like :|
If you could get the first book cheap, then I would recommend that, just so you could sample it to see if you like it. But I do find this to be one of those books that you can just keep reading, and worth the money I payed.
I'll check out the library, though I doubt they have the non-translated version of it.Greyfox105 said:-Double snip-

Thanks anyway!
Looks like the polling coming down in favor of the readers, but I think the Escapist crew is poor sample to test this idea. Everyone here plays games and can at least type. Imagine if you asked the same question of the average user of XBox live (shudder).
Only when I want to read something very specific, like just today I had the urge to read The Great Gatsby and 1984 so I checked them out today.
I go through phases where I'll read 3-4 books in a short space of time then not read any for a good few months. Last book I read was Watchmen, thought it was absolutely incredible so starting to read as much Alan Moore as I can, starting with League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
Barely read magazines as they're a huge waste of money and are generally just full of ads anyway; plus I can get all my game and film news online.
Only really read newspapers for sport, The Guardian and The Times are the best for (real) football
My bookshelf is just full of uni books for my dissertation, plus my guide to all 5 seasons of The Wire_ a must-have for anyone who's a fan!!

I always have a book I'm reading; but it can get tricky, because I hate rereading them.
But I always have a book on hand; never know when I might get torn away from my precious games and computer.

I love books, right now I'm going through all my Bill Bryson books (again) I've just started A short History.
I'll buy a book if it isn't already at my house. I have such a huge collection of books from my mother who also loves to read that it'll take me years to work through it all
Wow, that's great news that so many Escapists are readers! I have lots of books to read but they are put away so I never pick them up. I really need to change that.
People who play video games, on average, are younger and spend more time on the internet than those who don't. This isn't a media effects issue, it's a demographic one.
