In keeping with the title of the thread (and not intending to reply to anyone's prior posts ... although I read some of them .... I am a serious Henlein fan except for some of his much later works where he just seemed to go all senile and not in a nice way, but more in the creepy old guy who spends way too much time talking about tapping young tail kind of way), at this moment I have just finished "When You Are Engulfed in Flames" by David Sedaris (and which was great), and have just started "While They Were Sleeping" which is about the murder of several of the Gilley family by their son. The reviewer in Time Magazine gave it sort of a lukewarm review, but so far I like it. The same article reviewed "The Monster of Florence" another true crime book, so that's next on the list. After that (or maybe before that) will be Steven King's latest, "Duma Key."
I'm also re-formatting all of the Beatrix Potter books from PG. I know they are already available in mobi format, but the color pictures just don't come across on the page very well. No real contrast. So, I am taking the images, putting them in grayscale, and then working with the contrast and color reduction until I get something that looks a little better in e-ink.
I would like to have all of them done so that my friends (who I am determined are going to purchase a Kindle) can read those books to their grandchildren. Tom Kitten was always my favorite ... and I still have my original hardcover copy.
Oh, an appropos of nothing ... they gave me the most beautiful book today of the art of George Rodrigue. I don't know if any of you are Blue Dog fans, but his art work just plain makes me happy. So, this was probably one of the most well thought out presents I've ever gotten from anyone .... and it's not even close to my birthday.
