I love having a kindle. Im reading pretty regularly these days and i couldn't be happier about that.

Since getting my Kindle in June I've read the following:

The Nepali Flat by Gordon Alexander (fun fun fun read for those outdoorsy types)
Born to Run - Bruce
Bloodlines - Yea star wars
What You Did by Claire McGowan (Really enjoyed this little mystery. Some heavy topics, some good twists)
Boundary Waters by William Kent Krueger (Cork O'connor series? I hope this one gets turned into a movie. Fucking excellent writing. Super layered story)
Hard to Handle by Steve Gorman of Black Crowes

Time for another! Not sure which direction I want to head though (fiction/non fiction)

Finished Presto! How I Made Over 100 Pounds Disappear and Other Magical Tales
by Penn Jillette and it's something. I hope to be at least 30 lbs lighter by the time my birthday comes around - I'm sure as fuck not going as whole-hog as he did - but that would be nice.

About three quarters through. It's really helping certain puzzle pieces click into place for me.

The one about the invisible man was pretty good. Never read Fargo Rock City. Love his non-fiction.

Yeah, the Invisible Man one was pretty good.


Have you read The Postmortal by Drew Magary? It’s pretty good.

Reading Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Stephen King.

Pretty interesting so far. I have become a fan of the collecting of short stories into one book in the past few years.

Plus this one is kinda appropriate for the Halloween season.

I’ve only read three of the stories so far, but the first and second, Dolan’s Cadillac and The End of the Whole Mess were good.
