My last blog post did not have a correct title. I wrote “what I am reading”, but it was really a list of the books I had finished reading by the time of writing the blog post. Right now I am reading some really interesting books, but they must wait until next time. Now I want to share what I have read. Books have been “my friends” as long as I can remember. I love to read.

However, sometimes, just sometimes, it would be nice to have a portable electronic device. Because I have a pc already, I am reluctant to invest in a laptop as well.
