vivdunstan: Some of my Doctor Who etc books (drwho)
I recently learned this Japanese word for buying books that pile up unread. This is so me, sadly, due to my progressive neurological disease, which has badly affected how I read print since the late 1990s. I can still read short pieces of print with difficulty, so some short stories, some articles. But anything longer, and even often magazines, is impossible now. That’s why I usually read magazines, including Doctor Who Magazine, in digital format on my iPad, where I can make the text much bigger. I have so many books bought since 2000 that I hoped to read. For example all my Big Finish Bernice Summerfield books - some in the icon picture - and most of my Doctor Who books. I kept hoping I would be able to read them. I am much firmer now. I should probably get rid of them, but I still hope. And with the Benny short story collections especially there is still hope. But I don’t buy more. Thank goodness for my Kindle letting me still read with an utterly gigantic font. Reading is so important to me.
