Deena, is that true only for the Nook or can you do the same thing with a Kindle?

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
You can't do that with the Kindle, but you can with the Sony, and, I think, the Kobo.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Psst, Feed fans, check out the badass cover for Deadline.

Polter, you need to tell Seanan to get Feed out in ebook on Overdrive so I can check it out from my library. (not that it's her job, and it might already be on Overdrive and my library just might not have bought it. One never knows.)
t, did it work? Did you need any clearer description?

“Not dead yet!”
Catching up on Goodreads vs Library Thing: I'm at Goodreads [link] so feel free to add away and I'll add you back. I'd go searching for people but right now my brain is just a sieve, barely able to keep up with release week stuff. (God, but I suck at promo...)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Another reason to love discount stores - I was at one of my local ones and spotted their rack of YA fiction ... including hardcover copies of "Catching Fire" and "Mockingjay" for $12.99 each. Win! (I'm now most of the way through "Catching Fire" ... this isn't going to have a happy ending, is it?)

I'm trolling through ManyBooks to see what I want to download to my Palm. OK, I may be mulling an ereader if I find enough to download that I want a bigger screen for. In any case, War and Peace is there. The great books are often really deserving of their reputation, but I'm curious if anyone here has read it and really enjoyed it rather than read it for the pride of saying "I read it." Is it a slog? Will I find myself flipping through boring bits? Or will what some people call boring bits turn out to be wonderful prose that's worth the examination?

Always Anti-fascist!
I attempted an abridged version in either high school or early college...iirc, the answer to all your questions is "Yes." I remember being entertained by it, if not so sure I got the Larger Point...it's quite long, even when they cut things.
