About Me

I'm a reader who enjoys posting comments and recommendations about the books I read. You will not find a synopsis with my recommendations because you can just click on the book title for a link to www.goodreads.com for a synopsis and reviews by other readers. I prefer the 3 Reason format: the reason I chose to read it; the reason I liked (or disliked) the book; and the reason I recommend it.

The Jungle BooksThe Jungle Books by Rudyard Kipling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This ebook has been in my Nook library since I downloaded it for free from Barnes in Noble, about October 2010. It is part of the Barnes and Noble Classics. Kipling originally published two Jungle Books in 1894 and 1895. I enjoyed reading the extra materials too.
These stories are not the Disney version. The stories remain entertaining and thought-provoking.
I encourage all readers to enjoy this classic.

Kim Kim by Rudyard Kipling
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I downloaded this ebook to my Nook library when it was free from Barnes and Noble. It is one of those classic books I should have read by the time I was in high school or college, and I waited until I was retired.
I am really glad I read the ebook version because I could open a note that explained something such as a location or tradition and return to the story with just two clicks. I can hold my finger over a word and be given its definition. These are so useful for books written more than a hundred years ago.
This classic is still relevant as Kim is playing the Great Game concerning influence not only in India but also Pakistan and Afghanistan.
