I was pleased to see that David finally took the leap and bought an Amazon Kindle. I've had mine since the end of January and now I only read books available for the Kindle. DAVID: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR NEW BOOK IS ONE OF THEM! Also, as long as we are at it, with almost 900 blogs available, why isn't GTD Times? I floated that idea by Oliver months ago. He seemed to like it, but your clout with Amazon might make that happen.
As for your comments on getting into fiction again, I'd like to share my experience. For the past couple of years, I started reading again for fun. I used to have no interest, because I spent the entire day reading this and that and couldn't imagine doing it any longer than I had to. Then I read Steve Leveen's "The Little Guide to Your Well Read Life" and started making lists of books I wanted to read, as well as books I had read. What a great joy it has been! If nothing else, a way to lose yourself at the end of a hard day and live inside someone elses world for awhile!
So far this year, I've already read three times more books than all of last year--thanks to the Kindle. It's so easy on the eyes, portable, and simple to use that it eliminates any drag on me and, therefore, any resistance to reading. I love the built in dictionary too. I can't imagine actually picking up a traditional book again!
For those of you who may have put aside reading for pleasure: Try again. It's a much better way to feed your soul than watching t.v. will ever be!
