I am from Finland, but I am as comfortable with Finnish literature as English one since I spent 6 years in the US in high school and college and use English daily at work.

Last two weeks I spent on reading a paper version of The Hunger Games first episode, finnished it up yesterday. Right after I finnished the book I went to public library to get Cybook Opus reader for one week and purchased my first ebook ever, Wool by Hugh Howey. I have experience with reading on iPad since I have one at home, but I leave that device to reading email and surfing, watching Youtube videos and such.

Anyways, it seems that perhaps my biggest issue was jealousy toward my wive's reading speed. I finished a 400 page book in 12 days which I am proud of and enjoyed it immensely and now I started reading another book. I value the time spent on a good book so much that I don't really care anymore if it takes me one or ten weeks to complete it.

Thank you all for your comments on my thoughts, keep them coming. Really good opinions and interesting stuff.
