Books, Reading and Kindle?!



I am a HUGE bookworm and there's nothing better than getting lost / absorbed in a good story. I am always looking for new authors and those unputdownable reads! The Earth Hums in B Flat by Mari Strachan is one of the books that have recently caught my eye! The other is the NY Times Bestseller, The Story of Edgar Sawtelle by David Wroblewski. Both are on my Amazon Wish List and I plan on buying them as soon as possible. Saying that I'd LOVE to hear any thoughts on these books if you've read them (or even if you also want to read them).
Something else that has interested me is Kindle. (You know that electronic Amazon book thingy-me-bob?) I know everyone is raving about it but I am intrigued how good it is. There’s something about reading an actual book. I wonder if I would get the same enjoyment from reading from a Kindle?! But I really AM intrigued.

I've had a friend's kindle the past two days. While it is small and easy to carry in my purse I miss the "heft" of a real book. I don't see me buying one in the near future.

I love the smell of books so unless they make a book-scented Kindle, I'll stick to the real thing. :)

I would love to try a Kindle and see how I like it before I actually had to invest in one. It can really save you money if you purchase a lot of books. I'm a techie gal so I think it would be fun to have... but then I also hate reading hard back books because I like to bend them and abuse them when I read. A Kindle wouldn't let me do this would it???? LOL! I just bought Edgar Sawtelle and Angels & Demons. I'll let you know if I like them.
