Looking backward

I have 3 eReader devices,, 2 Kindles and an Kobo, plus 4 desktop applications which also allow me to peruse the world's literature.

My shelves are crowded with books made of paper and I wish there was some way to bequeath them all since my reading lately is electronic through my devices and on my computer desktop

Perversely, I seem to prefer reading material from 1912. I am now reading H.G. Wells' "Lost World", an interesting series on common life in Victorian London and have just purchased a Neal Stephenson book "Quicksilver" set in Colonial times.

Bookworm

Still reading a lot. The 'touch' Kindle is slightly heavier but I'm getting used to it.

I tried the text to speech but found it unsuitable because it did not have the actor's voice that makes listening a pleasure.

Must be a great boon to the blind though.

Fellow I knew in my salad days used to go regularly the the Canadian National Institute for the Blind to read out books and texts.

Now, any book at all can be heard at will.

I see from the CNIB website that "Classic Serbian Literature is coming soon to CNIB Library", so I guess the need is still there for foreign language readers.

Books, Books, Books

Reading so much now that I have become accustomed to my Kindle.

Daily life in Victorian London

The Prague Cemetery by Umberto Eco

The Oxford History of the Biblical World

I'm taking an NYU free course on Biblical archaeology

Writing Steampunk by Beth Daniels

And on it goes.

After years of reading mainly from my HTML browser I have rediscovered books through my eReader
