MY LIFE IS MANY, MANY OPEN BOOKS!

When the Kindle first came out - I was vehemently opposed to it! I love book stores and books, and even wrote a blog entry, I think, about being surrounded with stacks of books and loving it. I love the feel of the page, and the smell of a new book. And - I read a lot. A whole lot.

Since the end of February, I have finished reading six novels. I just kept stacking them by my bed - and they toppled over in the middle of the night and scared the Bejesus out of me. Every bookshelf is filled to overflowing. I have books stacked on the shelves three-deep - piles of books, stacks of books, layers of books...there is simply no more room.

So, I broke down and ordered the Kindle Two.

I feel like a traitor to the literary world. It's like all the zillions of books in my house are glaring at me - and the damn thing hasn't even arrived yet!

I suppose the simple moral to this tale is the proverbial "never say never".

I will let you know how this jump into the modern electronic age goes. Should be interesting, anyway.
