The Kindle + The Bookworm

When I was a wee child, I loved books I took them everywhere with me, the bathroom, the open fields, the dining room, friends houses. I guess you get the picture where ever there was a book there was a very anti-social young girl. My dinner would go cold while I pored over each page of fantasy my book offered, I would escape into each magical world, I became one of the Little Women, I was always the beautiful bride in the Mills & Boons novels, I was the victim in the “Blood Line” and I became “Jane Eyre” a timeless heroine. I never had a library I could visit to loan books, instead I would borrow from friends, family and strangers. Immediately I saw anyone with a book, I would plead with my eyes mercilessly until their book was within my hands. Looking back I always wished that there was a way to keep the books that formed my childhood. I always wished there was a way in which I could keep them from mold, mildew and rot.

When I heard of the Kindle, I was intrigued, I did my research, I read reviews, and then I did more research, then when I saw it was going to be my own virtual library which I can take all over the world, I decided to plead with my eyes, I pleaded all day and almost all night, my eyes did their charm, every time I turned and pleaded with my eyes I could see DH melting. It fit within our budget, it fit within my wish list and most of all it fit everything I could ever want to read. This Christmas, I have been turned in to an anti-social young girl all over again, I got my wish, I got my Kindle.

Over Christmas Aba and I compiled a list of what we thought photographers would want to get:
1. 50mm 1.2 or 85 1.2
2. Xbox 360
3. Kindle
4. MAC book Pro
5. Flip Video
6. 5d Mark II
7. Pioneer Woman’s Cook book
8. Seat at Mike Colon’s workshop
9. Subscription to B school
10. Iphone

awesome… I have toyed with getting my mom one.. she also loves to read.. I do as well but I love the feel of a book in my hand.. not sure why.. anyway.. I got pioneer woman’s cook book for christmas its awesome.. and I treated myself to a crackberry.. ( blackberry ) Verizon doesnt have the Iphone and I get discounts for having internet, phone, and cell phone on one bill so not worth it to switch to att or whoever carries Iphones.. I love the blackberry.. so addictive.
