I'm reading whatever I can get free or cheap for my kindle. I have something like 6 pages of unreads I need to read.

Speaking of kindles, I'm on my 3rd keyboard since Christmas. I've had two within the past week. The first one, the screen did that "shatter" thing, the replacement was fuged from the start freezing up and rebooting itself, and so far so good on the replacement's replacement.

If anyone else has a kindle, I don't mind loaning books. Most of mine are SciFi, Paranormal, and Mystery.

I have a Kindle. How do you loan a book?

I thought I recognized Errol's name. He has made some nice films over the years. Top notch

yea, really interesting book on how the little details of photographs alter our perception of events and how editing and staging of famous photos have changed our perception of history... really good stuff.

I had no idea you could share books on kindle. Now if I only had someone to share with. :(

It's a book about a socialist revolution. Fairly enjoyable. There's a lot of dialogue in it.

saw this Decoded episode about Harry Houdini(btw, got a screenplay quasi related to him cooking) and it was bout how Houdinie and London became great friends but HH had an affair with London's wife.

HH was a super interesting guy as Im sure London was too.

He must have had a lot of interesting friends. I remember reading about Houdini and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle being friends as well. Doyle believed Houdini had supernatural powers and refused to believe Houdini when he suggested otherwise.

I'm reading The Count of Monte Cristo. It came up in a thread a while back and I decided to start it the next day. Im not quite half way through so I still have a long way to go.

That is a long ass book. Had to Spark Notes that sh*t a few years back for class. I read 5 pages before realizing I would never get close to finishing it.

Good luck though.
