A little snooze

    Another Dark Puss 'find' for us, this time library users 'resting their eyes'; (my favourite is the toddler quite near the bottom of the page!). I wonder what they were reading that caused them to doze off? The Big Sleep, Twilight Sleep or Sleep, Pale Sister?

    Here's a genuine question, though, are e-readers less snooze-inducing than paper books? I mean, does the pressing of the buttons and what have you perhaps use areas of the brain not employed by a normal book and does this keep the reader more alert? I see the new iPad includes "a virtual bookshelf complete with cover art", which sounds interesting - more on the device here, if you're still awake.
