I received a Kindle for my Birthday and thought I'd better fire up the device and get reading. I decided to start with the free offerings from Amazon and as a result have read some great books. My first purchase was South Sea Tales by Jack London.
I also read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson (real book, not on Kindle). It took me a couple of tries but I finally got into it. It was an interesting read and you should be warned that there is some disturbing material in it, but I did find it intriguing and wanted to know the answers along with the main characters.
Water for Elephants, by Sara Gruen, is now out as a movie. I had seen the book a few times at Costco and considered purchasing it. However, it became an accidental purchase on the Kindle when I pushed a button too many times. It was a good read although I didn't care for the sexual content. It is a story about love and the circus.
Two of my favorite reads lately are by the same author: Sandra Dallas. Prayers for Sale and The Persian Pickle Club are books that I would highly recommend for summer reading or for a Book Club. I can't wait to read them again, and again. My research job for the summer will be to find the quilt patterns for those mentioned in the books.
I'm glad you've like the Kindle. I was a little worried because I know how much you like your paper and booksmell.
