That's why I love my ereader and go to a website where I can pretty much get any book for free.

I wonder if there are places where you can test E-readers. I don't know if it's the part in me that doesn't look change but I love cuddling up with a book. Does it feel the same with an e-reader?
It does actually!Originally Posted by WellingtonCats

I'll do some research and see if I can "test drive" one! Thanks for the advice.Originally Posted by Kailie
It does actually!I was a little apprehensive myself, as I have always loved books, but truthfully I adore my Kobo, and can't imagine not having one now.
Yes, it does! And when you fall asleep, you don't lose your place!Originally Posted by WellingtonCats

A good, fast read.Originally Posted by Kailie
Now reading Still Life by Joy Fielding.
Now reading Amagansett by Mark Mills. It's a little slow so far, but we'll see.
Just about to start reading killing the shadows by val mcdermid
Check out any major book chains near you - one or more of them should have e-readers on display. I've got a leather "book cover" for my Kindle, so I don't see much difference (and sometimes find myself going to turn the page instead of pressing the button.Originally Posted by WellingtonCats

Have you tried out the e-readers (free) for PCs, laptops, smartphones, etc.? They would give you a general idea.
I have the kindle app for my smart phone. I wouldn't want to use it for reading all the time. Have looked at them in shops but too expensive at the moment. It would have an advantage with some of the books i like to read tho as they can be quite thick!
What a horribly boring waste of time!
Now reading Chosen by Chandra Hoffman.
REALLY good book, very intense, and reads kind of like a Jodi Picoult book.Originally Posted by Kailie

Just finished Blue Shoe by Anne Lamont. I really liked it and the two Jennifer Weiner novels before that (Kailie were you the one who recommended her? I got three, but only like two, Little Earthquakes and Best Friends Forever, the third started so slow I abandoned it almost immediately)
Now reading Strangers by Dean Koontz. I read it when it first came out, in the 1980s. Lost my copy and have spent the last 25 years trying to remember what the book was and who it was by. Last week for some reason the title of the book popped into my head and I looked it up on Amazon and there it was, so I bought it.
This particular edition isn't so great. The print is tiny and runs all the way across the page into the edge on the inside, so you can't see the final word and have to practically break the spine of the book. Annoying.
But I'm glad to be reading it again, anyway.

I've just started an Ira Levin kick. This Perfect Day currently, Rosemary's Baby next. The Stepford wives after that. Then I may try some of his others.
These are library books, so I've put aside Strangers (Koonz) for the moment, since I own that I can read it when the library books are finished.
Wow. It seems I haven't posted to this thread in forever. But, rest assured, I've been very well read during that time.
When I had jury duty back at the end of February, I read a number of books including Tick Tock by James Patterson, Cleo by Helen Brown, and These Things Hidden by Heather Gudenkauf. I loved Tick Tock as it was very suspenseful and kept my mind working despite being physically limited to a small, overcrowded room. I was not as impressed with Cleo. I had a hard time truly getting into the book. The beginning moved very s l o w l y, but then the end was uncharacteristically fast-paced. And, it really was more about the author and her experiences than the family pet who supposedly "mended" the family. And, I really enjoyed These Things Hidden. It was a fairly easy read, but it kept my attention throughout -- I was definitely surprised at how everything ended. In fact, because of that, I have downloaded the author's other novel and am looking forward to reading that shortly.
Recently, I've read Love You More by Lisa Gardner and Bringing Adam Home by Les Standiford and Joe Matthews. I loved the Lisa Gardner book. I can't say it was my favorite, but it was an excellent read. I need to find out when her next novel comes out because I'm already going through withdrawals. And Bringing Adam Home was interesting. It's a true crime book about Adam Walsh who was abducted and murdered in the early 1980's. At times, it was very difficult to read due to the subject matter. Well, actually, a lot of the book was that way. But, it was eye-opening at the same time -- especially as the investigation was detailed. It was a trying book and, at times, had me feeling almost sick to my stomach or near tears, but it was interesting. I certainly have a great respect for John Walsh and his wife, that's for sure.
I have a number of books waiting for me. So, I should be posting to this thread again any day now
