Books I’ve Read Since I Got a Kindle
I’m on my eleventh book since I bought my Kindle in October 2009. That makes, let me see, eleven more books than I would have read otherwise. To show the advantage, I’ll sort them out by “motivation.”Back in pre-Kindle days, I never would have considered buying so many even if they were so inexpensive–just trying to figure out where I would put them! This way I get immediate gratification and the only fuss is my credit card statement.
Books I bought immediately after I read the review in the newspaper:
Anne Frank: The Book, the Life, the Afterlife by Francine Prose
Fly By Wire by WIlliam Langewiesche
Books I bought because my sister recommended them:
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini
Noah’s Compass by Anne Tyler
The Writer as Migrant by Ha jin
A book I bought right after seeing the movie on which it was partially based:
My Life in France by Julia Child and Alex Prud’Homme
Books I’ve been wanting to read anyway, and there they were:
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer
Teacher Man by Frank McCourt
Garlic and Sapphires: the Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise by Ruth Reichl
On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft by Stephen King
A book I bought because it was only about $3:
The Non-Fiction Works of Mark Twain
