  • Paperwhite special 11, i believe. I read a Stephen King book, Never Flinch, the first week. I’m almost done with Knife, a Salman Rushdie book about his attack. I also just downloaded the Sleepy Hollow story - going there with some friends next month so we’re all reading it in prep. I’ve saved a ton of things on Libby and an trying to decide what to read next. My husband has an hour commute morning and evening so he does audiobooks. I have access to his audible library but i have a hard time listening without getting distracted. What have you been reading? Do you keep getting me ereaders for new features, better contrast, different formats, …? Which is your current favorite?

    I started reading Stephen King in high school in the 80s. One of my favs is Dead Zone. I also really like his books of short stories- it’s nice to start one and finish it in a day or two. My husband loves the Dark Tower series.

    I’m enjoying Knife. Did you see that they just added years to the attacker’s sentence for terrorism? After this i think I’ll read The Satanic Verses.

    My friends talk about having a movie running in their head when they read. I can’t ‘picture’ things, so i don’t have that. I’m going to Sleepy Hollow, NY with some friends and we’re all reading the story before we go. I’ve been there, so it’s kind of a sensory blast to read about the creek and cemetery and have a visual memory of it.

    For the last 10-15 years i have probably only read about one book per year- usually one i got as a gift and forced myself through. Even with glasses or contacts reading for more than 10-15 minutes was uncomfortable. I recently got an e-reader and and love it! Being able to change the font, size, brightness is a game-changer!
