"Don't worry Ginny, we'll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat."

I've been working on 3 different blogs concerning 3 separate ideas: religion/atheism, why mall shoppers are annoying, and what teachers should be allowed to say about their students. I don't know in what order they will actually be posted, those are just some things to look forward to :)

The real point of this blog is to share the happy news that I just got a Nook for my birthday. It's sort of amazing. I've heard a lot of people say that they think it's a terrible thing that people don't even read real books anymore, but I'll still be reading real books as well. I just really like the idea that whenever I want a little Hogwarts adventure, I don't have to lug a 600 page book around. This thing can actually store about 1500 books as is, and more with an SD card. Wow! So basically, anything I could ever imagine wanting to read can fit in here!

One of the perks of having a Nook as opposed to a Kindle or other like e-reader is that whenever I am logged into the in-store Barnes and Noble network, I can read whatever I want for free without buying (for up to an hour) and I can download a lot of free articles to read later. There's also the huge perk of using this as an excuse to people watch at Barnes and Noble, which was a fantastic way to spend a Saturday afternoon alone.There will be a lot more of this in my future.
