Welcome to Motorhomefacts, we are a thriving motorhome community (Largest in Europe). Why Not JOIN NOW and get instant access to more of the website. It costs nothing to join and only takes a few minutes. We have 200,000 different people visiting our site monthly and this amount of motorhomers in one place guarantees a fast response to any questions you may have. We also have unique facilities not found elsewhere such as our Online Logbook, stopover tracker, Motorhome directory with Ebay type feedback and the largest repository of motorhome campsites reviews found anywhere
As avid readers, with only a VW that does not have the carrying capacity for enough books to keep us occupied for a year, over the past four months we have swopped books with various Motor homers whenever we can. The most popular type of novel available seems to be thrillers, but we thought we would do more intensive research and ask you all about your favourite type of book.
We look forward to your responses.

When I am away in the van (VW also) I welcome a few hours of rainy weather so that I can read! I usually go to the library or bookshop before a trip and get stocked up with a few books, a delicious feeling comes over me as I pack them away, looking forward to curling up and getting lost in a good story.
I sometimes feel guilty at home if I spend too long reading, but in the van there isn't anything more pressing to be done, oooh I love my books.

We've discovered a perfect book store in the van under the floor and above the fresh water tank. We put the books in cloth bags and can store dozens under there. It does tend to mean that you read the next one out and don't rummage as it is a big thin space.
My OH has a Sony Reader but I don't get on with it very well and prefer paper. It is extremely useful for keeping a copy of all the van handbooks and instruction manuals as well as campsite information from MHF database.
It is lovely to hear your thoughts. Thank you.
The results seem to confirm a liking for Jack Higgins, Le Carre etc that we suspected.
We did contemplate an e-reader, but a number of things put us off:
The cost - we would have to buy 2 and as all of our books are swops from Read it Swop it or gifts, this was a serious consideration.
The opening line, 'Would you like to swop a book', is quite a good one for meeting new people on the camp site.
We managed to smuggle about 30 books in the van, despite its size, in various places, I suspect there are some nooks and crannies we have filled with a book and forgotten about.
We have given some books away, not just swopped. A young Slovenian avid English novel reader we met in Slovenia was pleased to receive one we had just finished.
We already have the laptop, MP3 player, camera, mobile phone etc to keep charged up, the e-reader would be another bit of technology to break or lose.
Having said all this, we may invest in e-readers in the future.
We look forward to swopping with others in the future. We will read almost anything and can't think of anything better than curling up with a good book.
Good wishes
Canda
