Long Books Or Boooooooooooks
I’ve been reading a lot (thanks again Kindle), but recently I finished one of the longest books I’ve read (at least top 5 anyway). I can’t say how long it was in number of pages, which is a bad gauge and thanks to the Kindle, pages mean nothing. But trust me, it’s pretty long (Jonathan [...]

Lorem Ipsum Bookstore
Lorem Ipsum Bookstore needs help, if you’re in the Boston area, help em out: Help Lorem Ipsum Out I’ve never been to that bookstore personally, since Inman Square is a drive and Porter Square books is really close to my place, but hey, Inman has Christina’s Ice-cream, so I’ll try and stop by Lorem Ipsum [...]

They are able to read broadly and without the [...]

Re-Kindle
I think I may be done with my bookshelf tour, kind of. So since my book-reading phase restarted around… Mid-Feb? I’ve finished four books, which I’d say is pretty good for me.

Kindling
Got my Kindle 2 in today. Now to get some reading going on. I read some stats the other day that said that those trashy novel with Fabios on the cover sell like crazy in eBook format. Makes sense, people get embarrassed reading that crap, but with an eBook reader, no problemo. I then checked [...]
