For my birthday I received a lovely new kindle, complete with pretty blue case, which is so useful! It's hard to lug those big books I love to read around campus, so it's very pleasant to have around.
It also provided a laugh that I wasn't expecting.
This here is a picture of the X-Ray feature for A Tale of Two Cities. Some kindle books, you hit a button that says X-Ray, and you get a glossary of recurring terms and a little character guide to help you keep everyone straight. It's a good idea! But it could use a little work. See, it works by entering the name of the character or term into Wikipedia, and puts the first paragraph of the Wikipedia article. Sometimes it makes mistakes.
I hope everyone has a good Halloween! If
*Don't mind me, just making a reference to some obscure musical. ;)
OOOOOOHHHH.
ReplyDeleteYou just referenced the ATOTC musical!! Does this mean you're a fan of it? Did I know this and just forgot? o.O
Wellsies...anyways. :P Haha, I know what you mean about Kindles--sometimes they're not especially helpful.
(Also, are you reading LM right now????? CRAZY FAN HERE. Just sayin'. :P)
Awesome, you got the reference! :D Yeah, I'm very much in love with the musical, it's quite underrated! I put up a review of the CD, but that was a long ways back. August I think? Aaah, the year is almost over this is so weird.
DeleteI was planning on starting Les Miserables up once I finished Monte Cristo (One big 'ol book at a time is enough XD). I can't wait to read it again, I loooove that book! I'm sort of a crazy fan myself, so you're not alone. :D
