Hermione: Your Kindle looks tatty.
Viola: You introduced me to it. Years ago. You don’t seem to be using yours much lately.
Hermione: Er, no. Busy, you know.
Viola: We should read more.
Hermione: How about we have a book club? Download the same book to Kindles and post comments by an email thread? One with the highest word count in the comments wins.
Viola: With a limit on copying and pasting from the original text.
Hermione: OK. Ten percent quotes max in the posting. How about a Somerset Maugham?
Viola: Good choice. Very classic. Haven’t read him for fifty years.
