So now you have hit a nerve! Books are my other passion apart from Gills, (and Mrs L of course), and my house is full of them. I have recently had an extension built and was lucky enough to be able to turn our old dinning room into a 'library.' It is great to have a room dedicated to all our books which has had the knock on effect of making space in all the other rooms. The few Gillingham related books are all good to own to look up things now half forgotten. I am a history fanatic so many of my books are to do with various wars. There are some excellent books about Waterloo out at the moment - Dan and John Snow have co-written a really interesting project book which is full of information. I have over 100 books on cricket which some people would say is 100 too many, but luckily Mrs L is very tolerant and also shares a love of the noble game. If novels are your thing, try 'The Book Thief' by Marcus Zusak which is so much better than the film. Other books which I have recently enjoyed include, 'The Miniaturist' by Jessie Burton, The Taliban Cricket Club' by Timeri N Murari and 'The Wasp Factory' by Iain Banks. I could on but this is a football forum after all! As for books v Kindles; I do have a Kindle which is brilliant for holidays, the train etc, but there is nothing like a real book in my opinion.
