Remember I blogged about reading the short story, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, on my iphone? I have now finished reading Emma by Jane Austen the same way and am still surprised that I found it even easier to follow than a paperback. I have now downloaded a number of other classics to consume through BeamItDown. I'm still unsure I would enjoy it as much with another ereader, as I love the autocue style.
Up until last year I hadn't read any Jane Austen, and one of my reading goals is to get through them all. I received The Jane Austen Book Club by Karen Joy Fowler via Book Relay a couple of years ago and hope to read it once I know am able to appreciate more of its subtleties, which I know were lost on me in the movie.
Yesterday, I also finished The Associate by John Grisham. I enjoyed it until close to the last chapter. While the ending probably portrays reality, I usually enjoy how an author cleverly packages everything up quickly and unexpectedly. I don't mind some open endings, but there were just too many. So many that I will speculate this is the first book John Grisham will write a sequel for, and I am guessing it will be called The Mole.
