I can’t believe that you modern, technologically savvy people cling to Gutenberg. I have been a voracious reader my entire life, but I haven’t touched a book in at least six years. I use the Kindle app for IPad. It is to books what the Beatles were to the Dave Clark Five.
Oh, I respectfully beg to differ. Nothing is more pleasurable than the smell of a new book –and a pipe, a comfortable armchair and the fireplace. Very traditional I am, yessir!

@Oudis, Amazon has you covered. Sprinkle a little of this on your Kindle while you snuggle up by the fireplace in your armchair with your pipe:
It’s advertised as smelling like new books. Your sweet smelling Kindle, by the way, will immediately define or search words you touch in the text, allow you to make notes, bookmark pages or passages, and copy text so you can paste it in the Fab Forum!

Mr. Kite, parlanceI say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, 'The Beatles did'.

Offline Oh yeah, it’s for real. As soon as I thought new book smell, I just knew that Amazon would have a product for that purpose.
Talk about a derailed thread, huh? To get back in the good graces of the Mods, let’s just say you can drink the stuff too.

Offline I was dancing with a friend’s wife some years back at the Squash Club Christmas ‘Do’……….I asked her how she first met my friend……She said that she… “could remember exactly and even recall his first words to her…..”
“Oh yeah? Tell me…”
“It was in a pub” she said, “I was up at the bar standing next to him. He was eating a sandwich. I said……’That sandwich looks nice. What’s in it?. He offered me a bite and said:
“Pubic hair.”

I have a Cottage Pie in the oven which will be ready in about 15 minutes, and a coffee with a slug of brandy in it.
