I have one too here from my membership at Dun Laoghaire Library, but don't use it: I prefer the paper versions. That said, I have a slew of good books here in the house that I have put on the long finger. I've just started Austerlitz by W.G. Sebald, and after that will read Island Stories (Britain and its history in the age of Brexit) by David Reynolds. I used to read omnivorously, but this interweb thingy has interfered with that for the last ten years or so... Keep safe Douglas
