Bath Tangle will be my next book (after Bleak House) and I am very excited for it. I am glad you like it since not many people seem to. I will surely let you know what I think of all three! :)

Thank you! I still have many paperbacks that need to be read, and I don't think I'll stop buying them either, but it'll be nice to get some freebies sometimes and save a bit of money...even though ,as you pointed out, I must beware of the one click button! :P

Freebies are one of the best parts of kindle.It is nice to get some books that you really want to read for free.

Yes, I have seen the BBC mini-series, and I absolutely love it!! It's one of my favorite movies ever. :D Right up there with P&P. ;)


Hey Alice! :D Yep, I love the movie of N&S, and I know I will love the book too. :) It does seem a bit slow starting out, but I'm guessing that will change.

Yes definitely! Not the same as having them paperback, but if I really love a book, I can always buy it again in physical copy ;)

[Sophie, The Romantic Moderator :)]

YAY ANNE! Don't worry that what I do! Often buy on kindle and then if I love it and want the physical copy then go and buy the paperback! So pleased you have! You won't regret it :)

I liked it WAY more than Tom Sawyer! I randomly liked the sub plot with the two "warring" families. :P

[Anne]

I haven't read Huckleberry, but I read Tom Sawyer and didn't really like it.

you should try Huck. ;) My fav Mark Twain novel was Puddin' Head Wilson. :P You have to either love his writing or dislike it. There's really no middle.

[Anne]

Hmm..I didn't really like the writing in Tom Sawyer, but that was rather a long time ago. I will add Huck to my list then and see! :) thanks!

Haha ;D He does have a very different style. I had to read most of his work for school though and I loved Puddin Head Wilson. :P

Alice wrote: "I liked it WAY more than Tom Sawyer! I randomly liked the sub plot with the two "warring" families. :P"

I haven't read Tom Sawyer yet, tho I really want to. :) Yes, I kinda liked that part too!

I agree, you usually love or hate Twain's writing. ;) I wrote two major school papers on Hunk Finn, so I really got to know it well! :P That's actually the only one of his works I've read (other than a few short stories), but I really got to love his wit and style. :)

[Samanta]

I haven't yet read Huckleberry or Tom Sawyer but I bought it because it was on sale and I like to collect books. I also buy books that I've read before. I'm a book collector :D

[Caity, that crazy moderator]

I know what you mean about collecting books, Samanta! ;D I have hundreds!

Heather- yes! I liked his style! So classic. haha :)
