The Girls of Room 28: Friendship, Hope, and Survival in Theresienstadt by Hannelore Brenner...a story of girls who survived the Jewish ghetto. The story is pieced together by the girl's diaries and personal memories. Just into it by 50 pages.

I am reading much more with the Kindle. I would highly recommend for anyone who reads consistently.

Why do you think you read more? I always carry a book with me so if I have a few minutes I have something to do. The kindle just looks like a cool gadget and I like the idea of instant downloads, but I don't think it would give me more time to read.

I would attribute the additional reading to carrying the Kindle places that I would not have taken a book(s) and/or magazines. It is nice having a variety of reading materials at my fingertips.

Rather than carrying around a single magazine or single book, I have them all available to me. There is 4 GB of internal memory and I have 500 MB of PDF books, a variety of eBooks from Amazon, 3 magazines and 2 newspapers at my disposal (and I still have 3 GB available).

Cool-does the newspaper download automatically every day?

If you leave the wireless on. To save battery life, I just turn wireless on first thing in the morning for 5 minutes and then turn it back off. That way, the battery lasts for 7-10 days easy.

"Great Jones Street"by (My favorite author) Don DeLillo.
I've read it many times, but it's been a few years. Thought I'd pull it off the shelf for another read.

On book four of Lord of the Rings or the second part of The Two Towers. I have no clue what I want to read next I'm thinking either The Idiot or Quicksilver.

Almost finished with The Yankee Years...to me this was a SLOWWWW read. Maybe because I am a Mets fan.
