Betsy,
I am going to post another review of Kindle on 11/28/08 but it is a love affair with no doubts and it has paid for itself in 3 months…I can even ask research questions and get an answer in about 15 minutes….I am now working on getting my blog on my kindle…environmentally wonderful and the authors get paid…appropriately. Welcome, welcome…
that Dot is a nice one – she is!

thank you for looking around

Hi Patricia – I’ve just come over from Dot’s place, and looked yours over. I think I’m gonna stick around. I’m fascinated that you read on a Kindle. I’ve only seen one review – other than Oprah’s – have you elaborated already on why you love it?

thanks for coming by and making a nice comment… I think you will enjoy reading the books…I just wanted to share my Thanksgiving about how wonderful these guys are working to make the world a better place..

I also just watched a film about Beyond Belief about how 2 9/11 widows are helping Afghanistan Widows have a life…another impressive project.

The Diving Bell & The Butterfly so inspired me, if ever I feel a little whiny for anything, I think of Jean Do Beauby "locked into" his body and then I don't feel so bad. The Laura Ingall's Wilder books, inspiring for the way they lived off the land. I wish I was doing that today. On your recommendation I WILL read those 2. Thank you.

Hi Patricia – what an awesome story. And just goes to show – failure isn’t always failure. It just takes us closer to the path we’re supposed to be on.

Davina,
It is hard to read some books these days…race or not…I am having a very hard time reading the theology books – I am in burn out and I just have to force myself to read one section a day. I haven’t finished 3 I was supposed to review this summer.

These two books were so exciting to read because of the actions that these fellows go through…Dr. Farmer could not even finish medical school nor could Mortenson…. I think I was able to rejoice in their work and want to particpate in some way…I am having trouble getting them out of my mind…

Thanks for you comments today

Hi Patricia. I've been having challenges getting through books for a couple of years now. Probably because I used to work as a proofreader. The only books that I've been able to finish (raced through them actually) were the Harry Potter series of books. Loved them! Davinas last blog post..Video — Preparation Inspires Self-Confidence

Vered,
Yes I can! believe that you are having trouble getting to books once you read blogs! I know the feeling intimately, but since I still get a few pennies for book reviews and my friends still have a book group…I have been reading 1 hour everyday and 2 on Sundays.

I am finding reading books on a Kindle makes the reading go much faster and now I can subscribe to blogs and one news source ( one can subscribe to many papers and magazines – I just afford 1) I am getting much more reading done on many fronts.

I would weigh a 1000 pounds if I could not read! I am sure

Can you believe that I haven’t read any books since I started blogging in February? I’m a little ashamed and have resolved to MAKE the time for reading books again.
