Kindle Fire is great for reading comics without filling up the house. I read Fables, and am almost done with Unwritten. Thinking of starting Saga next. I'm also rereading Song of Ice and Fire.

Yes; it had the open-endedness of a short story, but the length of a novella. Sort of a long short story.

I am now reading the Anne books, by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
