Austen Days
It's that time of the year again. The time I dread, well, a little, though not nearly as much as say, Tax Day for instance, or Annual Check-Up Day, or Scrubbing Tile and Grout Day, not to mention Colonoscopy Day...
iPod Touch and Kindle
Ok, so I downloaded the Kindle software for my iPod Touch and bought a book on Amazon for it and tried it out. And it's not bad. Not bad at all. I really wouldn't like to spend all my...
Sony Rebounds
Well, just when I'm getting ready to write off the Sony Reader, they come roaring back in the second period and throw a Hail Mary pass that sends the game into extra innings. Sony announced today that they...

Chick Lit
I recently finished a book series Mary turned me on to. I've found topical humor books quite hit and miss, and usually more miss. I do have my favorites - P. J. O'Rourke for instance, who I've followed since...
Two Holmes
I just finished reading two different and new Sherlock Holmes stories. It's nice that even though Sir Arthur Conan Doyle died over 60 years ago his most famous literary creation is still going strong. The first book, The...
Four Hour Workweek
I just finished the The Four Hour Work Week, a book that's currently topping the best seller lists. Mary originally bought it and I picked it up after she was done. From the numbers it seems there's a lot...
