From youthful flashlight reading under my
covers to absorbing a travel book while watching the land roll by from the crowded side of the Greyhound bus window, the physical book has always been present.Currently I'm absorbed in The White Mughals, a classic piece about the assimilation of early Englishmen into Indian society.
The novel is great, which is not a surprise, but the whole experience of reading it on an iPad has been an unexpected pleasure. From the backlit text, increased font size, sepia color background, and easy transport of the book, using this medium has been revolutionary. While it may be a bit premature to say this is the only way I'll read in the future, it's clear I'm going to try this route again.
The test will come when I have a hard copy in my hand and I'm still tempted to purchase the same book in digital form.

Hey mr.hughes, how's it going? I've been really busy with homework, soccer etc. I'm glad a break is coming up, but I'm gonna play even more soccer when I'm in Germany for Christmas. My mom got a new job which assures h
That we're staying in Jakarta till I graduate. But the bad thing is that for christmas this year she can't go to Germany because she is like the boss and has to work so much. She only gets 3 days ifffot Christmas! Which means me, my brother and my dad won't be spending the break with her :(... But atleast I can spend Christmas eith the rest of my family. It's snowing in Germany and I can't wait till I have a snowball fight with my bro. The best thing I like about Germany is that there's snow, the air is so clear compared to Jakarta and I can spend time with a couple of my friends there. What are your Christmas plans?
