It is interesting to read such a book with the female perspective on this society that is built upon and is so dependent upon male supremacy. ]]>

That instant gratification thing and the portablity are very key points about the usefulness of the Kindle. So many books are available on Kindle that finding something to read is really not a problem, and speaking as one who has long since run out of shelf space, being able to carry an entire library in my purse - or in my hands - is a very big plus!

I haven't read this book yet, but my husband started it on his Kindle and threw up his hands in disgust about halfway through. He never finished it. Now I'm curious to see if it is REALLY that bad, so I'll probably read it, but I'm not optimistic that I'll like it.

I just finished "Angels Passing" by Graham Hurley, the third in his Detective Inspector Joe Faraday series. As you might expect, this is a British police procedural, and although police procedurals are not necessarily my favorite, I will always make an exception for P.D. James and now for Graham Hurley. His books are really good and this third one is the best so far. I would highly recommend it to anyone fond of this genre. I look forward to reading his next one. ]]>
