Love It!

I received a Kindle from John for Christmas.  He followed it up with this cute leather cover, complete with a light!

I was one of those book snobs who looked down on the e-readers when they came out.  I valued the experience of flipping though the pages, the musty smell of old books, dog-earring the pages to mark your place, highlighting a line that spoke to you.  Well, I've not only changed my mind but I am a huge advocate (read: pusher) of the Kindle!  I can carry around three or four books at a time without running out of purse space.  I now click through the pages, mark my place with an electronic dogear and I can even highlight/make notes without worring about running out of space in the margins!  I hear rumors that the Kindle may be available in 2011 for $99!  Do it!  You won't regret it!

I just finished reading:

This is a satisfying quick read about the complicated relationships between white women and their black housemaids in Jackson, Missippi as they struggle to find their place during the beginnings of the civil rights movement.
