John Grisham calls himself an entertainer

Good article at CNN about John Grisham, who received 15 rejection slips before his book “A Time To Kill” was published.

Grisham’s books are not Joyce or Faulkner, for sure, but I see people reading his books with every evidence of enjoyment while I’m traveling back and forth to work.

He’s a well paid entertainer, because he made 9 million dollars last year.

Kindle out of stock

Amazon’s Kindle, a wireless reading device, is currently out of stock.

Kindle retails for $399.

It’s going to take me some time to get used to this “wireless reading device” way of reading.

And the price is going to have to travel south, quite a bit, before I can make the leap.

Take care, and just read!

I’ve started the book but not finished it.

Guess I need to hurry up and get it finished.
