I have neglected my blog for too long. I've been doing a lot of reading lately. I finally broke down and bought a

It came down far enough in price to make it worth it to me. I love it! Most books are $9.99, some are a more expensive, but some books that are in the public domain are free or of nominal cost. I've been rediscovering classics. They are so much more fun when you don't have to read them. Classics usually take me longer than the three-week period our library allows so I'm better off buying them. I've re-read A Tale of Two Cities: 150th Anniversary (Signet Classics)
They wouldn't let me link to the Kindle edition but it was less than a dollar. Right now I'm reading Treasure Island (Signet Classics) which I got for free on Kindle. It's so easy to order books that I have tried to limit myself to buying books that cost $9.99 or more to one on payday. I loved The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (Random House Reader's Circle) and
Shanghai Girls: A Novel by Lisa See. I don't think I've read so much since I worked at a bookstore. I have heard bad things about the Kindle cracking when using one of the covers sold on Amazon so I bought a much cheaper fabric cover made by Book Sox at Staples during their back-to-school sales. It's worked quite well. I did decide to purchase the extended warranty after reading some tales of woe on one of the Kindle blogs.
Oh, and I haven't neglected my library. I'm reading Palace Council (Vintage Contemporaries) by Stephen L. Carter. There is one drawback with library books though and that is that they are heavy. I just make sure to read them at home, when I have a long lunch at work, or when I have some extra room in my backpack.
