Ah, good to hear it Karsa! That sounds like something I can sink my teeth into.

I saw The Road a few months ago and I really enjoyed it. Recently I found out that Cormac McCarthy, the author of the novella is was based off of of also wrote No Country for Old Men. I haven't read the book for that either but I enjoyed that movie even more than The Road. It seems he is 2 for 2 in terms of having two successful movies adapted from his books. Ok, the movie adaptation of The Road didn't exactly receive high praise but it still seems to have a loyal following. I'd like to hear from some people that have perhaps read Cormac McCarthy's books and your thoughts are on them and him as a writer.

lol what is with people storing money in books? This is leading me to believe that librarians rake in a lot more money than I once thought.

I just saw Napolean Dynamite for the first time. It's a pretty decent movie. I like small quirky stories like that.

I think you will love V for Vendetta, I know I did. I read both that and The Watchmen before I watched the movies and I thought the books were better (cliché I know). I tend to read a lot of books from DC's Vertigo line.

I'm listening to all of Amano Tsukiko's stuff.

If someone gets offended by the material in a book I think they should put down the book. There's no reason to rob others of the chance to take in a part of history.

I tend to stop at the end of a paragraph. The weird thing about me is that it has to be the end of a 'good' paragraph. Meaning one that is at least 4-5 sentences and one that ends the thought flow/process in a way. My mind decides that this is a good place to rest for a bit. Whenever I try to only stop at the end of a chapter it's always one of those chapters some big cliffhanger and it drives me to keep going to find out what will happen next with the other chapter.

runner, How have you been enjoying your new purchase? I'd love you hear your thoughts on it.

vodkafan, After you transfer the .MOBI file to the documents folder via usb and disconnect try turning your ereader off then on again and then browse to see if the book shows up.

I have a 30GB iPod and it's great for audiobooks. You can create an account on Audible and just purchase the books you want. I think amazon sells audiobooks as well. A few months ago I got an e-reader which came with audio capability. So if you want to be able to switch between reading and listening that is one way to go.

I love having an ereader. I own a Sony PRS600. No wifi or 3G but I don't really care. I am on my PC so much that it's not really a bother to me to just connect it every so often to add more books to it.

The only thing I have ever found inside a book was someone's shopping list. The strange thing about this particular list was that it was written IN the book, inside the back cover. Why would you do something like that?
