kindle

i recently got the amazon kindle and have read two books on it so far. having the keyboard available right under the display encourages me to become a mor active reader. I wish it was available when i was a student @ uci. As i work as the manager for feliz market, i sometimes have a lot of time to spend. I resolve that i should use that spare time wisely, if i am to go anywhere in life. i decide that i must built of my character assets - and given my situation and circumstances, reading is the best medium. so i decided to purchase the kindle, a device in which hundreds of thousands of books are available at a click of a button. To be honest, i read a lot of..stuff. random stuff. information that are not particularly useful. trivia. and having read so much trivia, my mind cannot/does not digest it all, which ultimately results in wasted time and energy. I realize that i must read material that expands my view of the world, challenges my idle state of mind, guides me on the steps i must take in the future, teaches me the character, accomplishments, and experiences of those who have gone before me. and i must digest it all so that it becomes my flesh and bone - serving me in the long road to come. to help digest and remember the material, i will begin to write a summarized reflection after finishing a book. when i look back at all the material i read and wrote about, hopefully they will have become a part of me.
