I have a Kindle AND ad Nook (don't ask) and while I like the convenience,especially when I travel, I found th reading experience very unfulfilling somehow. I thought I just chose the wrong books too, but Oryx and Crake? <br /><br />Janet: I haven't kept up with the 39 clues and for some reason I thought there were only going to be 10 books...Yat-Yeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028075516122778317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980381933042572592.post-55688202586291923052011-07-29T12:12:52.613-06:002011-07-29T12:12:52.613-06:00Scott: I read the Little Women series so many time...Scott: I read the Little Women series so many times when I was young. It seemed like such as ideal world, despite the poverty. I wish I were their fifth sister. Did you find it weird that Mrs. March is actually called Marmee and it wasn't just the term her girls had for her?Yat-Yeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028075516122778317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980381933042572592.post-7801392462615603692011-07-28T19:40:06.576-06:002011-07-28T19:40:06.576-06:00I just finished Vespers Rising . . . book 11 of th...I just finished Vespers Rising . . . book 11 of the 39 clues series.

I blame it partially on my Kindle, but it must also have something to do with the choices I've been making.<br /><br />Maybe I'll try this one?Corey Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883689227283545602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980381933042572592.post-63837553249482408012011-07-28T14:58:34.022-06:002011-07-28T14:58:34.022-06:00March is great.

You don't need to have in order to appreciate <i>March</i>, but you might want to.<br /><br />I'm reading Chekhov stories, you know, and loving them, especially the later ones. <i>Goon Squad</i> is on my list, too.scott g.f.baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726743149139510832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980381933042572592.post-6100362994949093692011-07-28T14:24:36.457-06:002011-07-28T14:24:36.457-06:00I haven't read her other books although I know...I haven't read her other books although I know I will.
