nope definitely didn't miss the E bit, I just think books are made from paper and thats the way they should stay, sitting down and reading a book is good for you

I remember reading the LOTR when I was a whippersnapper and it was a very enjoyable read

Your choice... sadly the wrong one if you ask me... the pleasure of a good book is impossible to reach with anything digital.. of course if it's a budget problem as you said, my comments are pointless and I will stop since obviously I can understand...

I think 10 pounds sterling is a reasonable price since here in Michigan, you can get each individual book for anything between 7 and 14 dollars (it depends on the version and whether or not it's in hard cover) 14usd would translate roughly to about 9 quid I think, so multiply by 3 and you're in the right range. Sounds good

The problem is that while 10 pouds sounds like a very small amount in UK or US, in Pakistan it is probably a bit different...

Well you could probably download it off Kazaa or some other P2P, but I would seriously recommend buying it instead because it strains the eyes less than staring at a monitor.

lol yeah ..... these days 1 pound sterling is arround 100 Rs. and 1$ is 60 Rs .

getting em from p2p's is a good idea .... but its too slow .. it make the worth waiting worth doin something else ....

here the standard petrol car is 1.3 liters .. lol ... the ones tht are accepted as good cars have got a 1.6 laters ... and standard fer diesel is only 2.0 liters .. 8)

kewl aint it ..... and yeha .... if ya talk abt supercars ..... there are only 4 ferrari's 1 of them is smuggled ... .... a couple of vipers (its not a supercar though ) ... not a single lamborghini ops: ...... not even a supra MKIV abt 8 Rx7's 3 S2000 and filled with riced civics ....

i saw a 288GTO once at a show room .... ryt on the next day the owner was caught fer smuggling 2kg of heroine all his businesses were closed btw the cars in the show room were also smuggled but it was never presented in court againt him ......

Pak really is a kewl place ... do what eva ya want and go away noone will eva notice .... 8)

im actually not from pak so .. im my case i feel somewhat cursed livin here ..
