Then they came out with the Kindle for PC. That's how I read White Lines and Wench. Now I have a device that I don't have to stay tied to my laptop in order to read AND I just figured out how to strip the Kindle format so I can read it on my Sony, I'm golden!

At 3:37pm on June 2, 2010, Jacki said…: Yeah A Mercy will probably be one of the last ones I read. Just afraid its gonna do me like Beloved. My aunt won a Sony Pocket reader on the boat on she gave it to me, so now I'm like Cheryl - lol. Plus it's gonna most definitely help on book space.

At 3:20pm on June 2, 2010, Jacki said…: Now you see why I listen to books! There are a lot that I'm not sure of or when I started reading it, it did nothing for me. But the minute I put it on my MP3 player I'm golden! It helps to get through a book that was difficult to read, esp when your sitting in traffic from Skokie to Chicago - lol. You have no other choice, but to get through the book. Eat, Love Pray, I'm going to try to get that on audio.

You haven't finished the Harry Potter books? Well when you do we can discuss!! I really loved this series. Do you have the books? I can borrow you the ones you don't have. Ooh you didn't read the Intuitionist...I'm tellin'! Ha - I have it on audio I'll try to see if I can get it to you. It's a trying book...like trying your nerves, but I get the point he was trying to make. I think you're going to like Kindred. It's one of my favorite books of hers. I am so loving your list!
