Kindle Madness
/I got my Kindle 2.0 at the end of February. It's now the beginning of May. I've been reading like a madman. What's cool is that I'm noticing that my consumption habits with the Kindle are similar to those that took effect when I first got my iPod Touch. That is, reading on the Kindle isn't reserved solely for when I have large blocks of time. Much like when I would whip out my iPod and play with an app for a few minutes while waiting on line at the bank, etc. I'm finding that I'm not just reading on the train or before bed, but also whenever I can find a few spare minutes. Some might find the notion of filling every spare moment with electronic media consumption sad. I like it, though. There are all these little slices of time during the day where we're waiting in line for something, or otherwise detained, and without a little portable entertainment I'd be going nuts.
In the brief time I've had my Kindle, here's what I've read:
- The Yankee Years, Torre/Verducci
- Ulysses, James Joyce
- Brave New World, Aldous Huxley
- Treasure Island, Robert Louis Stevenson
- A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway
- UR, Stephen King
- Fool, Christopher Moore
- Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Jules Verne
- Practical Demonkeeping, Moore
- Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, Verne
- The Stupidest Angel, Moore
- Afraid, Jack Kilborn
- The Lost City of Z: A Tale of Deadly Obsession in the Amazon, David Grann
- The Lust Lizard of Melancholy Cove, Moore
- The Island of the Sequined Love Nun, Moore
- You Suck, Moore
- No Angel: My Harrowing Undercover Journey to the Inner Circle of the Hells Angels, Johnson-Shelton/Dobyns
- Playing for Keeps, Mur Lafferty
This reminds me of when I was a kid and a voracious reader...
