books and prices and books

Recently, I got a couple of Amazon gift cards. I have been trying to think of what fun things to do with them. There are always PS3 games to buy, so that's an easy choice- that's usually my first option. But, the Kindles are so cheap now, and the idea of reading ten books at once with no need to carry much of anything at all is kind of appealing.

To Say Nothing of the Dog -- Connie Willis right??? That was a good one! She's my second favorite author of all time. I'm re-reading a collection of her short stories right now.

Handmaid's Tale was eery and creeptastic. Very good, and very unsettling.

Yeah. I don't know much about it, but I was looking through Hugo award winners and it sounded interesting. Good to know she is one of your faves. That's a thumbs up before I even start.

Yeah, I am on it. I am bad about updating it, though. But, I am going to try to start updating my reviews once I finish books for now on. It helps me remember what I read better.

Your list is the right approach. I try to be honest with people who ask me if they should get a Kindle and I tell them it depends on how much they read, what they read, and how they get what they read. A lot of people seem to just say "well since they're free at the library it makes no sense" when I know for a fact that the only time they're in a library is to vote.

But personally I almost always purchased my books new, hate going to the library, and rarely resold them after reading so it is a good savings overall for me
