I find *trash novels* entertaining in that I can get through them quickly and I really don't need to think! Works for me. I've been busy lately with my 80 year old aunt and my 84 father. I don't begrudge the time I spend with them, it just leaves me with little time to indulge in some meaty reading. So, instead of not reading *shudders* I pick up the *trash/bodice ripper novels* and at least get a temporary high.

I've tried the kindle books. They aren't bad per se, I just tend to let my mind wander during the reading then ask myself "what have I missed?". I don't do that with a book. I get lost in a book.

I think I might be getting old.... hrm.....
