If you have a Kindle and like free or bargain books you need to subsribe to this site!!  They do the work of hunting down those free and bargain books for your kindle!!  I love it!!

Books I am reading or have recently read update!

Oh my goodness! I just noticed that I haven't updated the books that I am \have read since the end of May!!

I have reread 'Through the Looking Glass' Still can't believe how much I forgot and how the cinema has combined these two books as one instead of giving them each their own credit!!

Even Disney combined the two and mixed things all up!!

I then reread 'Around the World in 80 Days'. 

I really liked the Jackie Chan version, but not at all the same as the book.  Gonna watch afew of the older movies and see how well they stick to the written word!!

Then I reread Jack London's 'Call of the Wild'.  I know I had to read this in high school, but don't remember a bit of it!!  It really is a good book!!  LOL!!  But you couldn't tell me that as a teenager!!

Another one I would like to watch a few of the movies out there to see how well they know how to stick to the writer's words!!

I am currently reading in actual book form, as I was not able to get it 'free' on the kindle and was able to get it through PaperBackSwap.com for one of my credits -- 'Tyrant Lo Blanc' its an interesting book with a lot of history and long!!!  Tend to read this while at home lounging!!

I even found a movie on netflix.com by the same name that I am planning on atching when I finish the book.  almost halfway through it!!

On my 'Kindle' which I tend to take with me to read at work and on the run!!  I am rereading 'The Count of Monte Cristo' I had started rereading this awhile back, but counldn't remember where I had left off, so just started from the beginning again. 

And another book that has a movie out that I would like to watch after reading the book.






I think that just about wraps it up!!  Have so many books I want to read, but never enough time to read them all!!  So I just keep pliucking away at the list!!

Books Update cont!!!

Oops!!  Almost forgot.

I'm sure I mentioned sometime in the past that I just cannot read one book at a time.  I posted the books that I had downloaded to my Kindle and was or had just read, but sometimes you just need the smell and feel of reading a real book!!

So the real book that I am reading at the moment is 'The Tale of Genji'  by Lady Murasaki.  Wikipedia.com had this little blurb about the book:  'The Tale of Genji' is a classic work of Japanese literature attributed to the Japanese noblewoman Murasaki Shikibu in the early 11th century, around the peak of the Heian period. It is sometimes called the world's first novel, the first modern novel, the first psychological novel or the first novel still to be considered a classic.

And, Yes!!  I did get this book via PaperBackSwap.com.  It came in just a few days ago.  When I am done I will repost it and send it onto the next person who wants to read it!!  Or I could keep it if I wanted, bt I rarely keep books after I have read them.

Books!! What I'm reading!! Update!!

Ok so I finished reading 'Dragon Bones' by Lisa See -- yes I know I read book #3 before reading #1 and #2.  But I will read them soon!!  Good book --- Hmm I wonder if they have made a movie of it yet!!  LOL!  I don't see one listed - even looked under IMDb.com .











Just like mine, but I have a black kindle

I seem to have misplaced my sony eReader -- I'm sure I'll find it somewhere around here, but found a great price on a Kindle at Kindle.com so ended up buying it.  So far so good.  Bought a Lime green cover to go with it and have been downloading all those old classics (well the ones that I can find online) from the '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die'.  You would be surprised how many I have been able to find either through Kindle.com, gutenberg.org or manybooks.com.  Those that I can't find online I have either listed in my wishlist or ordered at PaperBackSwap.com.

I guess I got so caught up in the Kindle and free online books and that '1001 Books You Must Read Before You Die' book that while I was going through the list of books that I have read I decided that a lot of them I had read so many, many years ago that I have forgotten most of the storylines!! So I started reading some of them again. 

So what did I reread?  'Alice in Wonderland' by Lewis Carroll to start off with!

Now I am rereading 'Jane Eyre' by Charlotte Bronte.  Just getting started on this one!!  Boy have I forgotten most of it too!!!
