I'm a fan of kindle... yep.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Sharon, don't know how much impairment you're dealing with (I hope little). My wife got to the point she couldn't read. There are also audio books and many libraries have a good selection. Ours has an Overdrive selection that can be downloaded at home to your computer or in some cases MP3s and other devices.

I have adequate eyesight in one eye, but the depth perception problem and limited vision to my left make it unsafe for me to drive, which means I have to depend on someone else for town trips. It doesn't really interfere with my reading ... even my artwork ... or most of the things I do outdoors except, again, for the depth perception problem. And, for some reason, I have no night vision at all ... but then I'm too old for much nightlife anyway now.

I do like the idea of adjustable fonts with the Kindle as it is slowly getting more difficult to read small type ... whether that is from the injury or just old age I don't really know.

I used to listen to audio tapes when I was doing a lot of horse hauling cross-country, but I have a hard time concentrating on them at home. If I'm not actually reading, my attention tends to wander. If it was the only option, I would likely adjust, but for now I do prefer books ... and hopefully the Kindle as well.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

My wife was also an artist. It was hard for her when she had to stop painting.

Hope things go well.

[Sharon]

I can only imagine. My great-uncle was an artist as well, and lost his sight in his late 50s. I don't remember now what the problem was, but I remember how upset my Grandmother was for him.

I am just tremendously grateful that I can still do almost everything I need and want to do ... at 70 there's a lot of people that can't say that.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

My wife had a series of strokes and the first paralyzed her right side which was her brush hand. She eventually had a series of strokes. She was only 64 when she passed.

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Sharon, I think the Kindle will be a good thing for you.

Mike, I've said it before, but I'm sorry for what your wife went through and her passing.

[Jason, Gone but not forgotton]

Me, Too, Mike! That's terrible!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'm sorry for your loss too mike. You have my deepest sympathies.

I support kindle as a reading device. I love the printed page, but it's the story I'm after. (We all know that movies and television usually come short of delivering the best stories.) Have Kindle will Travel.

Mike, am very sorry to hear this. Having to deal with the strokes and then going so young is tragic.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Thanks all. Sharon is dealing with her situation and I just wanted her to know we understand.

To all members, new and old, don't forget to vote in our poll for our November group read. It's up until the 14th!

[Kasia]

Love love love this group, I read action books all the time, they are perfect between horror or mystery read - a nice fix of semi normal adrenaline!

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Glad you joined, Kasia. I'm glad to find other action fans to talk to on GRs. The group was totally Hugh's idea, by the way.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

[Eileen]

[Danielle The Book Huntress , Literary Adrenaline Junkie]

Welcome, Anthony!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Hi, my name is Phyllis and I just joined your group. I ove action adventure book. My favorites are Andy McDermott, Matthew Rielly, James Rollins, Clive Cussler. I have read everything they have written. I am looking forward to participating in your group.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

Andy McDermontt, The SEarch for Atlantis. Fun book. Chase is fun. Heck, I'm a fan of all four of the guys you mentioned. Welcome Phyllis!

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Hi Phyllis, welcome.

[Phyllis]

Thanks, just finished Empire of Gold and guess what? its a 2 parter, have to wait a year for the next book.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Yah.... I've been waiting for the next Dresden book since a day after I got the last one.

[Phyllis]

Haven't read any of the Dresden books. Might just be my next adventure.

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I'm reading Temple now. Almost done with it.

[Mike (the Paladin)]

Well 2 pluses, they're great (at least I think they are LOL), and there are already a lot of them waiting.

[Phyllis]

Temple by Matthew Rielly? I loved that book. Just finished Scarecrow. Haven't decided what to read next. Debating between The Sentinel by Jeremy Bishop,Callsign: King by Jeremy Robinson

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

I've read "Pulse" that was fun. If you like that kind of adventure, you might try Eventby David L. Golemon. I enjoyed that very much. (Jeremy wrote a review for him on Goodreads too. He liked it.)

I thought Temple was a lot of fun. I loved the last line.

[Eileen]

Welcome, Phyllis!

[The Pirate Ghost, Long John Silvers Wanna-be]

And it's scary. Just watching late night TV and what comes up? Just a story about a murder back in the town I used to live in in Louisiana with the name of a club that is owned by my Little Brother's best friend from High School. Freaky. (and the guy's name is Bubba - the Sherrif's Son. (Ex Sherrif)

[Jason, Gone but not forgotton]

Welcome, Phyllis!

[James]

Welcome, Phyllis!

I really enjoyed "Event" and am looking forward to "Legacy" when the library gets it in.
