‘Can there exist, in principle, a proper beginning to any story at all? Isn’t there always, without exception, a latent beginning-before-the-beginning?’

The Opposite of Kindle
Some days ago, I saw an elderly man on the bus reading an old, battered blue hardback - it had no jacket. He was mouthing the words to himself as he read. The pages were loose. I actually craned my neck to look, but I didn't manage to see the title.

I don't why, but I like it when I see old people using Kindles. I still don't want one though.
I believe one of my brothers is getting me a Kindle for bday/Christmas so I may well be the old person on the bus using one (I will be 48 very soon, eek!!!)
I am still utterly and wholly a paper book person - I see e-readers as a luxury accessory.
