/lit/ - Literature

According to recent figures...

Fiction - 25% of sales are digital
Non-fiction - 5% of sales are digital

This was a TV news article yesterday, on BBC news. I can't locate the damn thing online, but it made me think. Only a quarter of sales are e-books, with a lot of people still preferring physical books.

Checkmate, Kindlefags.

1. Girl With Curious Hair
2. Oblivion: Stories
3. Brief Interviews with Hideous Men

GWCH is a really enjoyable and fairly rereadable collection, with a great sense of insight for Americana. Oblivion: Stories is a VERY verbose book, well-written, but not as rereadable. Interviews is just boring and pointless, with very few good stories, and generally the stories are too short.

I'm at 64 / 100, I'm way ahead of schedule. I had my doubts about reading this much, but I've been having a ball (for the most part). So many great books out there to read, but if you don't push yourself, you won't read half of them.
