]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Shannon]]> http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/235485-nook Shannon made a comment in the Barnes & Noble Nook group:

Got my Nook Tuesday. Been playing with it off and on. Definitely need a cover for it - am afraid it'll get scratched. Also needed to download the bigger manual available online as I'm still trying to figure out how everything works. The only thing I'm not too crazy about is that it does allow backlighting so you need a light to read by it but that's part of the technology of it so it does look more like a real book/paper/magazine. It's a little slow to load up and to turn pages but I need to look at the manual to see if I've got a setting off or something. It's definitely taken so getting used to as it's different that holding a regular book - but I like it so far! ]]> <![CDATA[Shannon added 'The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/81224127 The Man Who Loved Books Too Much: The True Story of a Thief, a Detective, and a World of Literary Obsession (Kindle Edition) by Allison Hoover Bartlett

I was really hoping for more Bertie and less everyone else. I have a hard time focusing sometimes on some of the character story lines but then at the end I find myself thinking about the characters as if they were my acquaintances ! ]]> <![CDATA[new comment from Shannon]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/79750010 Shannon's review of The Advocate
