Sounds like you've made up your mind, but I'm going to stick my oar in just on the off chance that you're still looking. I just got a Nook wifi edition from Barnes and Noble and I'm very pleased so far. The wifi edition costs $149 USD plus tax, and I paid $30 for a cover. The box includes a...

I'm trying to find a book I enjoyed back in '92 or '93. It was part of a series and I never got around to reading all of them, but I'd like to now. Unfortunately I don't remember the author, title, character names, or many details of the story. Here's what I do remember: A very large...

That was kind of a head-scratcher ending for me too. I loved everything else about that series right up until then. Also, Thinner by Stephen King, and Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier. I've never gotten angry about a book's ending - usually I just have to laugh. It's like the author left me...

Ah, the art of non-finishing... Like you, I finish most of the books I start, but every now and then I get a dud. Reading is fun for me - a way to relax and unwind. If a book stops being fun or interesting to read, I stop reading it. Life is too short to spend my leisure time doing something...

If you'd like to time your reading speed, I'm running a reading speed poll on my site. You can link directly from there to a speed test. The link is in my sig line. Best regards, J

I've read Absolute Power, Saving Faith, and The Simple Truth. Actually I listened to the first two of those on tape while working as a delivery driver. "Light, fast and entertaining" is a good description. I enjoyed all of them, although I haven't gone out of my way to read more of Baldacci's...

Just thought I'd say hello. My name is Jon, and I'm a bookaholic. I read about 500 words per minute, and when I'm trying to get things done, I have to stay out of bookstores and libraries the way recovering alcoholics stay out of bars. I'm currently reading "The Talisman" by Peter Straub and...
