Hello from Charlottesville
I bought a Kindle about six weeks ago when I decided I had to either stop buying books or move. I'm moving anyway, but still enjoying this brave new world.

My three friends call me Jim.

I like to think of myself as older than dirt, smart as a whip, mean as a snake but willing to learn. Also, having just successfully loaded the Federalist Papers, both unbearably smug and curious about the community.

HEY! are you trying to horn in on my territory??? Except for the "smart as a whip" part?? Do I need to get my stick out??

Welcome to MobileRead. We're glad you've joined us. What kind of books do you read? Is The Federalist Papers a typical read for you? Did you download it from here at MobileRead?

I adore my Kindle and Sony readers. I don't think I'd read The Federalist Papers unless it was assigned reading in a course. But, I do read *lots* of science fiction, fantasy, and mystery novels. Several years ago, I started keeping a list of every book that I read and so I know that I finish 100-150 books each year.

It's nice to have new people join us at MobileRead -- hope you like the place.

Welcome to this brave new world!! Sounds like you should be reading Aldous Huxley instead....

(feeling very smug that I know that book title and author at all, as it was never assigned reading and I never have gotten around to it...yet)
