The Song of the Lark, Willa Cather

I felt that way about a book I read a few years ago, "Free Food for Millionaires." It seemed that every page had at least one reference to drinking games, or B. School. (Business School) Could the author have not, at least occasionally, used the full term? While I'm grinding my grammatical...

I got my basic Nook as a Christmas gift, so I have no Kindle experience. That said, I love my Nook. I was very wary of all e-readers, being so fond of paper books, but I've been won over.

If I'm at a coffee shop, I'll treat myself to a cup of coffee (cream and sugar, please) with a brownie or something yummy. Most of my reading is done at home, though. I make the world's worst coffee, so I switch to tea (which I make flawlessly!) and maybe a cookie. Gotta have that sweet...

I've been an avid reader most of my life. Mostly fiction, but some non-fiction, too. Bill Bryson's a favorite in that category. I enjoy Melville, Tolstoy, Austen (of course), David Foster Wallace, Richard Russo... I got a Nook for Christmas, so am exploring the e-reader frontier, too. I was very war...
