Finished book 7 of the Stackhouse series, called "All Together Dead." Probably one of my favorites of the series. Still haven't read The Noticer but I really need to before the weekend...

I dont read e-books because looking at computer screens bursts my head and hurts my eyes after prolonged use, even the thought of reading a book on my pc or phone makes me feel queezy.
I love book shops and librarys, the ambience and the smell of those places I find very special. Something about e-books creeps me out and makes me worry for the future of public librarys and small book shops.
I have a Sony Reader, and I LOVE it. Honestly, at this point, I wouldn't trade it for anything. Take all my other electronics away, and just give me an old straight up cell phone instead of my Android phone, take my iPod, everything - just don't take my Reader. The screen on it is great. I've had two different models so far, and it really does look like ink on paper. I don't get tired of reading on it, and I read for about 5-6 hours per day at work.
I don't, however, think I could read a book from my computer screen or on my phone, I'd probably throw up, lol.

It's kinda disappointing that they left out the psychedelic/ counterculture stuff from the story. But I guess that's to be expected since it's a disney film.
I just didn't think that the film was that interesting as just a movie to pass the time. It was extremely predictable.
Hidden Text:stupid, stupid, stupid. What was the music suddenly going top 40 as well. I hated it but the people in the theatre I was in laughed at it too.
I hated it considerably less than I thought I would, lol.:haha:

Currently in Book 7 of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse novels. The True Blood TV series on HBO is based on these books.
They're very quick reads, very entertaining. I enjoy it a lot.
I have about 7 hours of downtime per day at my job right now and can't use the web, so I've read those 7 books in the past few weeks. Going to have to find a new series to move on to.
Also reading The Noticer by Andy Andrews, I'll be finishing that up this weekend. It was recommended to me by my therapist, she actually let me borrow her copy. I see her next weekend, so I want to finish it by then.
I'm thinking about reading The Lovely Bones as well.

Alice in Wonderland. I wasn't overly impressed by it. Visiually it was ok but I didn't like Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter at all and I hated the story which is basicallya sequel to the original. lame. It had none of the wonder of the original story. Alice went through Wonderland as if nothing suprised her. I'd give it a 5/10 It's definately not a positive "reboot" of a timeless classic. the sad part now though is an entire new generation of kids will think this is the story of Alice in Wonderland when it's so not.
Yeah, I hate that it was marketed as Wonderland, when it really is just Alice Through the Looking Glass. I think two separate movies might have been great, or just Through the Looking Glass. The original is timeless.

Russ introduced me to LA Confidential last night, I thought it was great. I have Slumdog Millionaire on the DVR at home, going to give that a watch hopefully tomorrow night after work/dinner with my parents.
I really want to see Shutter Island, but other than that most stuff at the movies looks pretty lame. Dear John is still on my list, but my chick-flick pal has already seen it.
