Even if you don't get to read them you know what everybody's taking about.<br /><br />I hardly buy hard-covers myself, they are so expensive! Rushdie's "Enchantress of Florence" (in the Italian translation) costs 20€, that's crazy! Not to mention that recently I've been reading books that have more than 500 pages and I carry them with me as well, so they would be too heavy.
