I’ve talked about this before but you know what the best thing about having a Kindle is? It’s the fact that you can have as many books on it as there is memory on the device. You know what the bad thing about having a Kindle is (at least for me)? I tend to start books and not finish them. Case in point, I’m now in the middle of 5 books on my Kindle.
- The Toyota Way
- The Effective Executive
- Alexander Hamilton
- Kosher Nation
- Bearers of the Black Staff
Recently it’s gotten to the point that it’s really crazy so now I’ve just decided to read one book at a time. I think that due to how ginormous the book is, I’ll be saving the book about Alexander Hamilton for last. This doesn’t include the instapaper articles that now get sent to my Kindle on a daily basis. I wish that I had more time to read.

It’s almost as if I can’t stop blogging about books. Another fantasy series that I’ve been in the middle of (and have been for years) is the “Wheel of Time” series that was started by Robert Jordan and is now being completed by Brandon Sanderson.
Earlier this month the penultimate book was released, “The Towers of Midnight” and it is kicking butt and taking names. I’m about 3/4ths of the way through the book and it hasn’t let me down yet. After 12 books you’d imagine that there are a lot of threads that need to be tied up and those threads are starting to be tied. Everyone is getting into place for the final showdown in the next book but there are lots of things still going on so it doesn’t seem to be artificially getting the characters to where they need to be. It’s going to be sad when the series is over but it really looks like it’s in good hands with Sanderson writing some of it and working in the Wheel of Time sandbox.
