I credit the Catcher in the Rye as THE book that started my love of reading when I was in 8th grade. I now, and have for years, read a novel a week on average. Usually Scifi or history, but I go nowhere without a book to read when I have a break/flight/whatever.

RIP Mr. Salinger...RIP.

Almost ashamed to say I never read it. My early reading was mostly comic books, like Archie, Superman, Fantastic Four and when my parents sent me to bed out came MAD magazine from below my bed. My love of reading did not begin until my teens.

I also read tons of books, read numerous magazines and many newspapers, and I’ve been wondering about switching over to a digital reader, like the Kindle or the new iPad, (although I hate the fact that it won’t allow Flash nor will it allow multi-tasking) and I was wondering if you have any experience reading books in digital format.

Right now I have several bookcases with two layers of books on each shelf and I have many boxes of books and magazines in my shed, how cool it would be to put some of those in a digital advice, maybe?!
