If I seem a little scarce... is it a book review?

I have something wonderful. Yesterday we got tax refund. I went out and bought a Kindle. Big expense for me, but the rest is for bills, and we can get textbooks on it.  Now I don't have to feel so left out, and can read all those downloads

Hehe! Enjoy your new kindle! A ward of warning though, don't let it get cold. They're sensitive little things and die in cold weather. Seriously. They barely function below zero degrees as I found to my cost while trying to read mine on the bus to work last winter.

I also have some recs I can pass along if you want! I use mine primarily for reading original AoS stuff from google books or for reading charliecochrane's Cambridge Fellows novels.

Can you believe that I have never read Moby Dick though?! I am a philistine.

I especially want the Cambridge Fellows. Thought of that right away. I will keep it from the cold. Maybe I could get something like a tea cozy...

i want to get some POW accounts too. You probably know how to do that.

I think that I read Melville much too young the first time. He is so much better now! And when we are 70, he will be better still. So you have time. And you are so not a Philistine.

And there is Archie pretending to read, while listening to Simpson being horrible. I think that may be my favorite icon ever.

You can actually buy little kindle cozies! I think mine probably needed a hot water bottle though :}

The Cambridge Fellows books are fab and I can can point you to the download linked for some of the POW stuff anytime. It's also worth getting Osler's biography of Pellew, think that was the first thing I downloaded.

I'm afraid I am a bit of a Philistine when it comes to American literature. I am woefully under read there.

Same scene, a minute later. Poor Archie.

I've just remembered, didn't charliecochrane say that you and download Lessons in Love free for a limited period of time? She mentioned it in the post about the fabulous octopus :)

I'll check. That would be great.
