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




If you have Enjoyed or have any words of encouragement.. Please leave a comment...Just to Help my Alter Ego...He/We feel alone sometimes...
