I must admit that I brought this book by mistake when using my book tokens that I had earned online. I had a certain amount to spend and I needed to buy one more book so that the amount on my gift card would be used up. When buying this book I was in a bit of a hurry and I thought I was buying some sort of mystery novel. However once I started reading the book a few weeks later I realised that I had made a mistake, but I decided to read it anyway.
I found out that it was not a mystery novel but it is some sort of non fiction book about how people react to strangers. It features real life cases where people have had to deal with others that they have never met before. I found this book rather depressing because the real life cases were often concerning some very taboo subjects.

Taking a look at your discussions, I found out that you’re not just a music lover but a voracious reader too. I’m glad that you’re still able to find the real books even with the advent of e-books. It would be good then to get back to your reading where you left off with the help of your favourite bookmarker. Enjoy your reading but take care of your eyes.

I do take good care of my eyes because I wear glasses for reading and I visit the optician every two years. I prefer reading printed books rather than e-books because I like the books themselves . Part of the enjoyment of reading is being able to go out and choose a book rather than looking at a list of titles online.

@lazydaizee Yes and you can just pull out anytime the printed books you have on your bookshelves. Switching on your PC, laptop or other gadgets to read e-books would be quite a hassle. Continue to enjoy your reading!

@sunrisefan I will enjoy my reading thanks. I also think that reading e-books would be harder on my eyes than printed books because of the glare from the screen.

I will allow myself more time when buying books in future, and take my glasses so that I can read the summary properly.
