I have a Kindle and am reading the Complete Stories of Father Brown on lunch breaks at work. The stories are a comforting escape from a demanding job. But at home I'm reading The Geographer's Library, and just finished Symphonies. Somehow I prefer paper books at home.

11.22.1963 by Stephen King, hardback!!

I have slowly started to attempt to read via e-readers, but I love the feeling of physically turning an actual page with my fingers!! I'll get there eventually, I'm sure.

I'm currently reading Nineteen Eighty-Four... or trying to, at least. It's slow reading... very depressing, but very interesting. That world so resembles the world of today--where Big Brother is watching our every move. (I read The Snowden Files months ago and am well aware of how closely Big Brother watches us.)

I'm reading it on my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1. It's pleasant enough reading on this tablet--the screen is large enough for my old fogey eyes. lol

I'm currently reading the Mara Dyer triology, and I have them as a soft cover box set. I'm about half way through the second in the trilogy, but have read the first and second books previously. I usually use a Kindle Paperwhite, but these were a gift for Christmas, and it's nice to read a real book again!

I use google play books on my phone, iBooks and kindle apps on my iPad as well as the old school books. I love to read my bible, cookbooks, self help books, organization and money saving books, homesteading books, and good ole fiction and nonfiction as well. I am reading HG Wells "Time Machine" currently.

Latest Review: "Magpie" by M.A. Reyes

Post by RooneysReviews »

I just finished reading a book as a PDF file on my computer for the first time. It was strange to have to scroll down the page almost continuously in order to stay up to speed with my reading. I try to avoid reading on the computer since it's so bright that my eyes start to hurt after a while, but it was a necessity for this book. I found that it was not as horrible as I always imagined it would be and I was able to get into the story just the same. It's so interesting to read these and see how many people are reading on such a variety of devices! I always feel like the electronic reading devices are given a lot of negative emotions, but so many people here don't have a problem with them.

I was reading The 5th Wave on my kindle fire but just having trouble getting into. So now instead on my kindle I am reading Storyteller by Lisa Cresswell. So far I am really getting into it. Its a book I got for free from NetGalley, so after I am done reading it I will be doing a review for it. It really remind's me of Bedtime Story, as well as Ink-Heart. So it should be a very funny one to read.

I mostly read on my kindle and I'm currently reading Dying to Forget by Trish Marie Dawson, which I got for free when BoobBub told me it was on sale., When I want to read book I pickup the book in which I am interested to read and then start reading the book simply.

I read almost Exclusivly E Formats Now, I find it much simpler than toting and storing books, and much easier to get to a new book when I finish one. (I read about a Book a day) Not the mention the fact that I can Download Library Books to my Kindle. (Overdrive, its an app, look it up!!!) Its just a much quicker and better option for me. The down side is having access to an outlet to charge my reader, however with an app on my phone as well as my computer I'm never without a reading option.

I have the kindle app so that I can pick up a book on my iphone when I've left one of my paperbacks at home. Generally speaking, I'm old school and enjoy flipping the pages of a book and wrinkling the binding. There is something to be said about how a book gets worn as it is read over and over again. There is a sense of nostalgia when reading a book for the third or fourth time. You are often times taken back to the feelings and experiences you had when you had read it originally.
