Paperwhite special 11, i believe. I read a Stephen King book, Never Flinch, the first week. I'm almost done with Knife, a Salman Rushdie book about his attack. I also just downloaded the Sleepy Hollow story - going there with some friends next month so we're all reading it in prep. I've saved a ton of things on Libby and an trying to decide what to read next. My husband has an hour commute morning and evening so he does audiobooks. I have access to his audible library but i have a hard time listening without getting distracted. What have you been reading? Do you keep getting me ereaders for new features, better contrast, different formats, ...? Which is your current favorite?

That sounds good! We just finished Ourlander and the whole time i was screaming, "you know the future! Fucking build something!!"

I started reading Stephen King in high school in the 80s. One of my favs is Dead Zone. I also really like his books of short stories- it's nice to start one and finish it in a day or two. My husband loves the Dark Tower series.

I'm enjoying Knife. Did you see that they just added years to the attacker's sentence for terrorism? After this i think I'll read The Satanic Verses.

My friends talk about having a movie running in their head when they read. I can't 'picture' things, so i don't have that. I'm going to Sleepy Hollow, NY with some friends and we're all reading the story before we go. I've been there, so it's kind of a sensory blast to read about the creek and cemetery and have a visual memory of it.

For the last 10-15 years i have probably only read about one book per year- usually one i got as a gift and forced myself through. Even with glasses or contacts reading for more than 10-15 minutes was uncomfortable. I recently got an e-reader and and love it! Being able to change the font, size, brightness is a game-changer!

We were recently talking about the movie No Country... I've never seen it. Maybe I'll add it to my read/watch list. Thanks.
