    I love Oor Wullie and the Broons (?) if I've got that right.

    Hahahaha anyway I use an app on my tablet to limit the glare and there are loads of reading apps with free books. I also enjoy teen sci fi books occasionally. I will give anything a go if the plot grabs me from the start. Apart from black depressing horror or bloody gore. I’m a bit of a fan of fairies and angel stories for adults

    I have been an avid devourer of books since I was 5 years old, it has always been my greatest passion. I lost an eye in 2013 and have not read a book since, I just cant motivate myself to struggle with trying to focus with 1 eye. its just not the same.

    The best thing I've  ever bought is my kindle. I'll read anything and everything apart from romantic fiction. I set myself a target of 52 books for last year and passed it in June!

    This year I've still read but not quite so avidly. I was reading library books by the time I was 3 and have spent as much time reading as I can. I'll even read ingredient lists if there's nothing else

    Hi @bobives789
    Would it help at all to get the Kindle program onto your computer? You could then enlarge it to any extent that was useful to you.
    Best

    I love reading but it costs me a fortune in library fines. I find it difficult to get books back on time and am always gettig fined. It's £5 per book. 
    I love crime novels. Iv read the entire patricia Cornwell collection,  Karin slaughter toO.  I got quite depressed when there was no more books to read, but then the library suggested karen rose. I checked and she had quite a generous catalogue so I would 'give her a go.. She is now my favourite and I'm working through the books in sequence.  I love how main characters in one book get token mentions in following books so I get an idea what happened to them.

    I used to love reading would complete several books a week. Now I lose interest after a few pages and give up. Ahhh the good old days

    Hi @SugarCoated. Nice to meet you. Is there a particular reason that you give up?

    :smile: No obligation to explain, @SugarCoated - was only wondering if there might be some way we could help. Don't forget we're here if you think of anything.
    Warmest best wishes to you
