I love my Kindle. It is a wonderful mix of books that I already have hard copies of, old Classics that I really should read and gems that I would never have looked at in a bookshop (plus PDFs for lectures, which I may or may not have read). This is my e-reader in three books…
A Game of Thrones by George R. R. Martin
I am far too emotionally invested in the Song of Ice and Fire books. I downloaded the first one for £1.99, having never heard of it before, and began reading it on the train home at the end of my first term at York. I devoured it in about a week and had to buy the whole box set.
This Fine Life by Eva Marie Everson
If I had to define this book it would be as chick lit. set in the fifties. Loving all things vintage, and wanting an easy read, I downloaded it in the summer of 2011, which I spent working and travelling in the States. I ended up reading this in Boston during my final week there.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F. Scott Fitzgerald This was the first thing I read on my Kindle. When I got it, I went a bit mad downloading the free Classics and then got confused about which one to read first. Benjamin Button was short and I had never read anything by Fitzgerald before, which, being an English student of sorts, seemed wrong (and it meant that I could then watch the film with Brad Pitt in it).
