  Is there a cloud for movies, too?

  I'd just love to be able to collect movies and not have to worry about storage space or the dog chewing them up.

  My Kindle is a free download onto my PC and Verizon LG 4G LTE phone.

  I chose it for the larger screen.

  They can syncronize so I find my place on either machine.

  Problem I have is running down my phone battery due to reading.

  I have long reading stamina.

  Might need to get an actual Kindle down the road to remedy the battery problem.

  Nook books are too expensive due to their being B & N books, I've found.

  *makes note of Dave Berry*

  After graduating college with the second degree, I was so ready for some fun reading, so I read all the Twilight series and dug into Stephanie Plum (about 23 books and counting).

  I don't like romance but do like old westerns and just downloaded Max Brand and Zane Grey (sic?). L'Amour costs more, so I'm waiting on his books.

  I haven't really read science fiction. Love Grapes of Wrath for its poetic rhythm. Also like the Bronte sisters' books.

  Tackling Tolstoy's Anna Keranina now. Forgot how to spell that one.

  I found it funny that someone here who read Twilight and New Age things said that he would never date someone who read them. Hypocrite.

  How can one judge another by their reading material in this day and age of so many non-readers?

  Even Playboy has great articles, such as Willa by Stephen King. It's a short ghost love story, creepy and lovely all at the same time.

  Yes, I really do read everything! :D

  Reading is over-rated

  have you ever seen people who just constantly read.

  they read at every given opportunity, at the gym, on the bus and train, at the beach, all weekend, even while holidaying overseas they mostly just read.

  you even see them going down the street holding a book while walking, like some kind of zombie.

  The second that my sister and I learned how to read (ages 5 & 7), we fought over the cereal box daily.

  It had to stand right in the middle of us on the table so we could read every word while eating our cereal, she read one side while I read the other.

  I think we were the only kids in our area that could correctly pronounce the long scientific ingredients.

  The addiction grew from there, and neither of us is interested in an intervention or rehab.

  I just got an Android and discovered the free Kindle application along with free book downloads (and not so free ones, too).

  'Nuff said.

  Now, let me read.

  I'm interested in my Native American heritage.

  I'm a white chick.

  I'm a peace-nik.

  And, I'm free as a bird

  I stayed in so long because it was the only world I ever knew.

  However, I'm not so needy for that kind of association and "friends" that I'd ever EVER go back.

  I never would have taken the bait in the beginning, if I wasn't a new born when I was indoctrinated.

  hello everybody, so i've been out of the wt for almost a year now.

  i did go to the memorial last year, but that was pretty much the last meeting i attended.

  thing is, as a born-in, i have never missed one, this will be the first.. don't get me wrong, i have absolutely no desire to go back, but after all these years there's a weird feeling about it.

  just think 2,000 years ago jesus stood on a plank above the sarlacc pit.

  then he spun around and jumped back up onto the skiff where peter threw him his lightsaber from pilate's sail barge.

  after slaughtering the guards he and the apostles sped away, but not before they turned the main deck gun down at pilate's barge.
