This one is very interesting and very readable, only a little bit depressing.

We do in TN statewide. You can download and read at the computer or download for audio books. I listen to someone read to me as I sew AND LOVE IT. I taught school for 31 yrs. and read to my students daily and now I get to be the listener. I see why they looked forward to it and always reminded me if we were having a long,busy day and it looked like no time for read aloud. It's free and no late fees. They take the books back if you go past your two week limit. Don't have to get into the car................I use our library and the electronic one. Does your state not have the electronic library?

I usually make Basmati rice on the stove in a pan for small portions, but when I am cooking for 16-18 people, I really like my rice cooker - I don't have to worry about the bottom layer of rice getting scorched, the top is nicely cooked and fluffy - and it doesn't take up a burner on my stove! I agree with you 100% on that one! When I am in Austria, English books are very expensive so I have been thinking about getting a Kindle in the Fall before going over there for the school year.

I bought a rice pot at a Pampered Chef party a couple of years ago and I love it! Since we only eat brown rice, it comes out really firm and delicious. Mike hates rice so I have to play games to get him to eat it. You'd think a grown man would eat what's put in front of him. I'm the only one who eats oatmeal year round so I do that in the mic too. I have the McCann's in the box, not the steel cut. 2 minutes and I've got breakfast. I looked at the Kindle but I love holding a book in my hands. I'm not crazy about reading long stories online either. I make my rice in the microwave. I bought a rice pot at a Pampered Chef party a couple of years ago and I love it!

She's right - it's one of the best investments if you're a reader. You will absolutely love it! It fits right in my purse and goes everywhere with me. My husband was going on travel and I offered to let him take the Kindle with him. I was so delighted when he said no, he already had something to read. I'm ashamed to say I haven't offered to let him borrow it again when he's traveling. Hope you enjoy your Kindle as much as I enjoy mine.
