As long as the flap is off, it's not as bad an experience as I remember.<BR/><BR/>Of course, it's a Steven Torres novel, so that helps some.Daniel Hatadihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453583064175651509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16957364.post-1158762174955888712006-09-21T00:22:00.000+10:002006-09-21T00:22:00.000+10:00I'll swim against the stream and say: Hardbacks.

The fact that you can lend it to someone and it's got less chance of coming back looking like it's been put trough a fat man's underpants.<BR/><BR/>That's at home. But if I'm travelling I want paperbacks for the reasons espoused by those above.

I don't like them either. Paperbacks are more flexible.
