But we had storms last night (nothing like yours!) and parts of the city lost power.<br /><br />As long as the Kindle is charged, I can read on it. Or regular books by flashlight or candlelight.<br /><br />I hope you don't have to have more outages in the upcoming weeks.<br /><br />I love that you included some of my favorites on your list...I enjoyed Leftovers and The Grief of Others.<br /><br />Must get Cold Spring Harbor!
