But I also buy books, sometimes, based on my ability to hold them up while reading in bed. Hardcovers plonking down on a nose can put a quick stop to approaching drowsiness....what a weird yet valid-to-me reason to buy a paperback instead of a hardcover, especially of the kind of books one does read just before going to sleep....
