Egads!
My Kindle arrived in mid-February. I had just been reading
The Collectors by David Baldacci on the flight home from England, so I quickly purchased its sequel,
Stone Cold for the Kindle and read it. My intent was to make sure that the first book I read was one I was *really* interested in so that my evaluation would be based on the experience alone and not the content. Since that time, I have read 24 more books on the Kindle and 28 paper books.
I participate in a book swapping group and in two book rings, so I need to read enough paper books to keep up my obligations to those groups. I also have a huge number of TBR books in this house -- This is what they looked like in February:
... and sadly, there are now four stacks against the wall, all about waist high.
I have managed to stay out of the main-stream book stores, but I'm still a sucker for the used book stores in the area. We have several really good independents as well as the Half-Price Books & Records chain.
