Oh My..Oh My...E-Book Reader

Where have you been all my life...I have always..well since the 7th Grade been an Avid Reader...At times when I was younger I would be Reading 2 or 3 books at the same time...Is it my Thirst for Knowledge or just a form of Escapism...in all probability both...but I found that I could Read on Many Subjects...I stayed mostly with 'Historical Fiction' some 'Science Fiction'...I enjoyed almost all the Classics. In School I had No problem doing so called 'Book Reports'...most of the time I would ask/tell the Teacher what I was Reading at the time...and do a 'Report' on that if they had read it...Then as I got Older out of School my Reading became Broader...Then came Computers and I kind of put my books to the side...And lost myself in Reading on Subjects that are of Interest to me...


Well I found that I could Read some of the Classics on Line for Free...
"Moby Dick"

Then I started too Look at 'E-Readers and what they Offered...
Being of fixed means I could not Afford an Expensive Device...
In searching the Different Offerings....

I Decided on the KOBO E-READER
It had a Price that was in the Range that I could Afford
They offered 100 books for FREE most of the Classics and a Good Price Range for other Books...



The First Book that I wanted to read was "BEOWULF"
The Reason for this was to see if I could get back too a Tough Read...also to see how the Hand held screen compared to Reading It on the Computer Monitor...

So I can Read at my Leisure on the Computer and if I am Traveling or just going down to the Pool...
I can take my Reading with me...

I have just Finished Reading an 'Old Friend Classic'..."The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn"..
And now I am Reading "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer"

As I mentioned before that 'my Reading became Broader' in the Navy I Discovered

Erotica

NOT PORN.... but Classic Erotica

There are books out there that could be called just plane F**K BOOKS...

But there are some that the Prose and Poetry of Elizabethan England and France...
are but some of the Classic Erotica that is Available...One that I found, I first Read in 1966..
I am also Reading it Again...

"The Autobiography of a Flea"  Let you mind Wonder on this One...LOL

Time is Just Sliding By...

As Happens too all of us....Time just keep Sliding By...There is Nothing we can do to avoid IT...



And so we go through our Lives, Thinking we can Control and Juggle Time...


We have Standard Time, Daylight Savings Time and Zulu Time...Plus all the Time Zones Lines that cut not just Nations.. but often streets.

Who the Hell Invented IT...and Why do we NEED IT...



Even ole Albert Einstein thought Time was Relativity....Relieving...


Because in the END all We have IS....
