I am very slowly memorized that book. Thanks for the heads up, I'm trying to get all my old standards on my Kindle. I bet the first 12 books I got were ones I have read over and over.
Just wondering ... what is everyone reading now?

i have been forgetting to post in this thread. so, to catchup. in the last month i have read, four books by Charline Harris. they are about vampires, werewolves, and shift changers. in some cases very funny, and in general is a different take on the current vampire wave.
also read" false testimony" by rose Connors, and" one for the money" by Janet evanovich.
as you know reading is my passion , so if i don't post here, you will know i am busy reading.

I never read it, but was lucky enough to hear it read, serial-style, by Bradbury on a middle of the night show on Sirius radio (don't have it any more and miss it). It was quite a treat.

Books are so much more than a pastime, aren't they? Enjoyment, education, coping mechanism -- remember Melanie's "Wish I could find a good book I could live in" ? I've felt that way and been very grateful for the comfort of an engrossing book; and if it's really good, the more pages the better.

ah, melanie...look what they done to my song--such a plaintive, haunting sound she had...living in books is one of my most pleasurable pastimes. i loved melanie's candles in the rain album, would listen to it for hours--beautiful people, candles in the rain (lay down), citiest people....thanks tinlizzie, for bringing me a good memory today....

food of a younger land costs $5.99 on kindle. the nook book of this title is $12.99. i always compare prices. sometimes it is the nook book that is cheaper.

From what I've read of the reviews, "Food of a Younger Land" contains a number of recipes. For that reason, I'll probably buy the paper version. I've bought recipe books for the Kindle before, and I find they don't always translate well to the electronic format.
I find myself using audio books a lot these days. I don't have as much time as I would like for reading, so I download books and play them through my car's audio system. They make the morning commute go much quicker.
Of course anything with recipes doesn't translate well to audio books, either.

I finished rereading the first 10 recently. Going to wait on 11 until they don't want hard back price for the Kindle download.

I can't get it on Kindle. It says not available to me...wonder if there is some Canada prejudice going on! (Edit: I just checked and it is now available again but holy crap!!! I'm not paying $18 for it)
I just finished another John Locke and laughed out loud. Then I read A Dozen Deadly Roses. Not a bad read for $.99. I'm going to the library to pick up a hold today, not sure which one is in.
I also finished Bonnie, by Iris Johansen. I thought it (finally) wrapped up that series nicely.

They want $15US for it on the Kindle. The series is ok... it isn't that good.
I suppose I will wait a year.
I'll get it from the library on the fast turn around shelf. Its a light read, not a keeper.
I have two trips to make Wednesday and Thursday and was wanting something to read. So, a dear friend pops by with a package for us....his very first novel! I can't wait to read it!
I'm taking a break from the Rowan series by Anne McCaffrey. I'm reading The Gripping Hand by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle.
I'm reading a collection of short stories. "Whatdunit?" short story mysteries with aliens as the culprits. I'm not sure I will finish it...kinda dry. I will be going on a Clive Cussler rampage in the near future. Shrek keeps wanting to take books to the used bookstore and I haven't read them yet. My reading has been slowed down due to lack of attention...another fun symptom of peri-menopause.

F.451 read by Ray Bradbury is available at Audible.com. I wonder if that's the same one you heard on the radio.
I love listening to books... I listen to books while cooking.

I'm back in Spellmanland (Curse of the Spellmans) with Lisa Lutz as she blazes a giddy trail into the second of the detective-family series. Quirky is definitely the word. And fun.
Food of a Young Land, a title from Aunt Bea I believe, is waiting in the wings.
Michener's Centennial, my purchase from the library sale for a buck, fills in the spaces. It's now working on the Colorado Native Americans, discovering the black stick that kills.
