My thoughts were the same as Jessica's and then - I am a terrible wife - I found myself thinking, "Well, we just have to get one because Joe will be in Iraq." Bad wife!
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Our wings are not tired.
Just got a box from Amazon, a week before my birthday. I asked Steve not to give me ANY more books for my birthday because for the last 2 years, every gift-giving situation had him giving me yet another book. Yes, I love books, yes I love receiving them as gifts. But when he lugged over the 4 lb Willie Mays biography to London to give me for graduation, I had to gently and sweetly say NO MORE BOOKS.
So, the note:
"Hi honey! Happy birthday! No books (as requested); just a book reader. I love you. Steve."
He sent me a Kindle.

This is why I don't understand those Valentine's Day ads about flowers and diamonds. Nothing says love like electronics.

Heh. This thing is pretty cool. My favorite part is the non-glare. So easy on the eyes.

LOL.
enjoy it! I don't like that I can't skim well on it, but for reading, it is great.

In my case, I am distracted VERY easily, so I am hoping the one-noteness of the Kindle will be good for me. I would never read a book on an iPad, because, hello, ALL THOSE SHINY apps, but the Kindle's plain jane approach is exactly what I need. I am not as voracious a reader as meara, but I am already excited about not having to lug books and magazines around for air travel anymore.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, that`s awesome! It`s not a book, it`s all the books!
