Yet there are still so many books that I want and need...

When I was packing up all of my belongings, about half of which consist of books, I thought how much easier, less expensive, and lighter my move would have been if I had an e-book device like the Kindle, instead of real books. Instead of several hundred pounds worth of baggage, I would have only one little electronic gadget to take with me. The Kindle has thus gained one advantage point over real books in my mind. (See earlier post for more thorough discussion of e-books verus traditional paper books.)

New Review: Flawless on DVD

Read my review of Magnolia Pictures' Flawless, just released on DVD. Demi Moore is glamorous and crafty when she teams up with Michael Caine to try to outwit the largest diamond conglomerate in London.

Now reading...

I am on the verge of moving across the country and have purchased two books to keep me company on my trip - The Kitchen God's Wife by Amy Tan, and The Pilgrimage by Paulo Coelho.
I have been wanting to read The Kitchen God's Wife since I finished The Joy Luck Club. I love Amy Tan's writing; I always become very involved in what is going on in her novels, so they are perfect for reading when you need to de-stress and distract yourself from hectic experiences such as relocating.
Paulo Coelho is also one of my favorite authors; I was originally planning to purchase Brida, but instead chose The Pilgrimage, as I thought this might be more appropriate for my journey and embarkment on a new life.
