Okay, abandoning 'Guilty' and moving on...

English Novel: The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain (from Mobile Read)
English Other: Ultimate Fitness by Gina Kolata
Short Story Collection: Still finishing Sherlock Holmes collection
French: Le Petit Prince (still)

I do miss the collections browsing on the Sony, but I am appreciating how the Kindle lets you sort by date accessed so your most recently looked at stuff goes to the top. As you can see, I tend to have more than one book going on at once (novel in English, novel in French, a short story collection (I read perhaps one story a day; I enjoy them but don't read more than one in a sitting) and sometimes other things. So having them all handy on my home screen like that has been a big help.

I should have finished Le Petit Prince by now, but I get hung up on the verb tenses. Since my comprehension is better now, I am not looking up that many words, but then I get distracted with trying to translate the tense into English, especially when I am dealing with stuff like the passe simple which is only encountered in literature and hence I am less familiar with it.
