The more thorough Kindle review

I’ve had my Kindle for almost a week, and have read a complete book on it and I have to say I love this toy very much. Add it to the list of electronics I can’t live without (my DS, Sirius radio and laptops being the other ones). Here’s why it’s great: 1. Downloading books [...]

Wow!

So Shannon gave me my xmas present last night as it needs to be brought on our trip: YES! It’s a Kindle! And I’ve already plopped 18 books onto it so that ought to keep me somewhat busy on our trip. How cool is this thing anyway? Other news: I took out my tongue piercing. [...]

Literary round up

I love books. No, like, I LOVE books. I have a lot of books, but I used to have more, before I returned to Toronto. I gave a lot of them away, donated some and pretty much just left the rest (well, not the rest, but a bunch) at my old house. I know you [...]
