bryceTHOUGHT 1: The Kindle Caper

So, I ordered a Kindle last week with a bunch of money I got from my birthday.  Last month, I was able to play around with my mom's, while I set it up for her (I am apparently the 'tech-savvy' one in the family... if they only knew).  I thought it was neat, but wasn't crazy for one.

Then I began to see the light.  There are some really amazing things you can do with this thing.  Also, Amazon has HUNDREDS of books for FREE on their site.  Plus, I was tired of lugging around my mammoth copy of The Brothers Karamazov.

I feel like a thief because I spent more than an hour last night downloading many of their free books.  Most of them are older classics, and are surely on some old reading list.  I think I came away with 50 books.  For free!

Here are a few of the better ones:
The Works of Edgar Allan Poe - Volume 1,2,3,4 ; The Jungle ; Notes from the Underground ; The Idiot ; Crime and Punishment ; Anna Karenina ; The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes ; Orthodoxy ; The New Jerusalem.
