How small it is! How slim it is! How light it is! Look! Look! I have five books in it now! It’s still small, slim and light! What an amazing invention! I feel slimmer! Lighter! Sexier!

I ended up with a Kindle because Mr TCM could not be persuaded to get an iPad. Well, I agree with him – the iPad is too heavy to hold at length. My house is small and with a baby on the way, there was no room for either of us to buy books. All these sound well reasoned but in fact was an impulse buy.

I had taken to reading to baby – talking to baby gets boring fast. I have new Yorker on it. I am halfway through Neal Stephenson’s Snow Crash. I love it like I love soft tofu. I want to mash my face with my kindle.
