Tarzan - The Lost Adventure

I have never been a book worm. I never liked reading. I liked watching movies better. I guess I have a hard time visualizing the scenes when I read A book. The first book that I read from cover to cover was "Tarzan - The Lost Adventure" an adventure novel penned by an American writer Edgar Rice Burroughs. I find it easy to read the book because I was able to see a lot of Tarzan movies prior to reading the book. Because of this, I was able to imagine all the scenes as I read the book.

New Gadget - Amazon Kindle 3

For some reason I really find it hard to read novels or anything long that has no picture in it. If there is something that interests me and there are some illustrations, I might read it. Part of the reason is that I get dizzy or sleepy after I have read 10 pages or more. I also do not like holding thick and heavy books when I travel. The only book I read from cover to cover and really enjoyed was Tarzan. maybe because I can imagine the things that I am reading.

Now that there are ebook readers, it has somewhat motivated me to start reading. I purchased an Amazon Kindle 3 with Wi-fi capability. I got it for 120 bucks via Kijiji. A good deal considering it is sold currently for 140+tax on Amazon. It can store a lot of e-books and is very convenient to use. The battery life is also great as it can last for weeks.

I have started to read Star Wars e-books and I find it very helpful when I am commuting and when I have time to spare.
