Default Re: What are you reading?

I started up the hunger games last night.

I am kind of shocked - my kindle said that I am already 15% of the way through it. I'm a slow reader (or at least I used to be). I'm wondering if using a kindle instead of a book has sped me up. Being able to make the text larger is definitely helping - I always seemed to have trouble going down the next line before...but now the lines have more space in between them!

Awesome!

I could never seem to get going with my bible, but last year I used my phone and the app "YouVersion" and got through the bible in 90 days.

I think I'm going to do it again this year, on a longer than 90 day, but shorter than 1 year plan.

So...it has been a slow day at work. With my handy dandy kindle app on my phone I am 10% through the 2nd Hunger Games book Catching Fire already

Either I have picked up A LOT of reading speed since high school (the last time I really read very much) or this is just a very short/simple read.

I am rereading ‘Crime and Punishment’ for about the 4th time.
No one does it like Dostoevsky! I am convinced we were married in a previous life….

I'm reading "Emperors Don't Die In Bed" By Fik Meijer. It's a chronicle about the insanely interesting ways in which the Roman emperors met their fate

books are much easier to read on Kindle. I think it has to do with deceased eye-strain. I used to fall asleep reading, but with Kindle I can read all night. I have to cut myself off...or sleep all day at work the next
