Do you Kindle?

I know, I know, I'm not supposed to love "things", only "people", but I really love my Kindle. I thought by now I'd have read more books. I got my Kindle for Christmas, and so far, I've finished nine books. (I write the titles of the books I've finished on an index card and keep it with my Kindle.) Four fiction and five non-fiction. Hmm, I usually read much more fiction. I read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and The Help. I liked them both; maybe The Help a little more. I hated for the book to end (yes, I know I shouldn't "hate" anything or anyone, either). Among the non-fiction books I read were four Catholic books. I'm happy about that. Sometimes I don't pay enough attention to what's important to me.

I must have a the-grass-is-always-greener syndrome when it comes to reading books. Once I start one, I'm looking for the next one to read before I've even finished it. Using a Kindle hasn't changed that. Right now I have a whopping 27 books started on my Kindle, and 17 waiting in the wings. I keep telling myself that I'll finish books (maybe 4?) before I buy any new ones. But I can't help myself... even with a wish list to help me out.

If I read - and follow the advise of what I read - the next time I write I'll have a clutter-free and organized home, and I'll be thin and fit. Unlikely on both counts... but then, I shouldn't be negative.
