A Library At The Palm Of Your Hands!!

Six months ago, I got a Kindle for my birthday.  I did't use it right away, because I had some books on my self I hadn't read yet.  I finally started using it a couple weeks ago and I LOVE it!!  I love how you can download books right on the device and get them instantly.  No more driving to the store or waiting for books to ship to your house.  I can make the text as big or as small as I want.  I don't know about you; but when I would open a book and see a lot of really small text, I would automatically put it back. But now I can read anything and not worry about the size of the text.  I even feel like I read faster on the Kindle.  If I read 10% of a book a day, (which it shows me my progress at the bottom of the screen) I can finish a book that might normally take me 2 or 3 weeks to read in 10 days!  But no rush, because the battery lasts about a month so I don't have to constantly worry about charging it.  I am kicking myself for waiting so long to use it!

They'll Keep You On Your Toes

I love reading books with huge plot twists, like the ones found in Lincoln Child and Douglass Preston's "Relic" or "Angel and Demons" and "The Lost Symbol" by Dan Brown. The death of a major character. The murderer you thought was good. A shocking marriage/pregnancy. Two best friends falling in love. Suddenly, the book becomes worth reading. More importantly, it stays with me long after the final word is read. I find they are the books I want to made into a movie. The books I recommend to friends. The books I want to read over again (and I don't do that often)!! Although the twists usually come at the end of a book, it is worth reading the 200 pages to get to that moment that makes you sit up wide eyed, reading the sentence over again because it didn't seem real. If only we had more of those moments in real life. The moments we live for.
