My brother just didn't understand why I returned the Kindle that he got me a few years ago. Recently I decided that I should read the top 200 ficton novels of all time, currently I'm working on Great Expectations, but I have to admit that Dickens is not my fave. Loved Wuthering Heights though! Agreed! My brother just didn’t understand why I returned the Kindle that he got me a few years ago.

Anna Karinina is what I read during breakfast, but at night I'm reading The Memory Keeper's Daughter, which I highly recommend. I’m reading a couple of books right now.

I am reading Game Change which is an in depth look at the political campaigns in the presidential election of 2008 with a sharp focus on the individual candidates and their spouses. It is revealing and informative. I have a Kindle and it is great for traveling and on the go reading but nothing beats holding a real book.

As shiny and enticing as the Kindle may be, it just doesn't compare to an actual book. I just finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and LOVED it. I cried. It was just that good.

I've got a few books on the go at the moment, waiting for one to hook me in, then I'll go back and finish the others. My Year of Meat by Ruth Ozeki A Thousand Acres by Jane Smiley and Hells Angels by Hunter S. Thompson. Gosh I love Pat Conroy.

I highly recommend either. In honor of the death of both Salinger and Zinn, my next (re) reads are “Catcher in the Rye” and “A People’s History.” I highly recommend either.
