I ended up waking up during the night and was unable to get back to sleep. As a result, I sat up and read a lot of Caitlin Moran's book. More of the book in a moment, but the experience of reading on the iPad was quite new. Even though the iPad 2 is lightweight and portable, I found that after holding it for any length if time, that reading became uncomfortable. Basically, you need to find a comfy position and prop it up in some way. That said, when you do that, there is the obvious danger of dropping off to sleep. However, the cover come stand does help. What of the book itself? Well I have loved every minute. It is in part a memoir, and in part a feminist handbook, but don't let that put you off. The columns that she writes, and her contributions to twitter are always good value, so if you like them, then the book is a must. I tweeted her to say thank you and got a lovely reply, so I was a happy person about that. In other news, the world seems to have gone crazy for the phone hacking scandal, and it seems far more important than the current desperate situation in Africa. It does make me despair at times. I love politics, and I love the fact that this current scandal is making that idiot Cameron squirm, but I do scream out for some perspective at times.
