I'm currently reading Mary Poppins. I realize that for a 32 year old, that seems odd, but it's been one of my top favorite movies forever, and I finally wanted to read the book...


It's a good bit different than the movie. Mary Poppins is a ***** in the book.

I've heard this but i actually struggle on the kindle. I don't know if it's because I'm too used to books and I'm unwilling to change or what but something about the kindle just doesnt feel right to me. I think it just comes down to personal preference. I got a kindle for christmas and just gave it to my dad because I can't get used to it and I'm afraid i'll fall asleep while using it and roll over on it

I thought I had read them all, but discovered a while back, I hadn't. So, I'm finishing Doyle's Sherlock Holmes with "His Last Bow" and "The Case-Book of Sherlock Holmes."
