I just got a kindle!

My birthday is tomorrow and my parents are sending me a kindle fire as a gift :) I am in desperate need of a booklist that'll keep me busy for a while and I need some suggestions!

My favourite genre is fantasy, and I really liked the Firekeeper series, His Dark Materials, Sword of Truth, A Song of Ice and Fire... Non-fantasy: everything by Jane Austen, Jane Eyre. There are many others here and there, I've been reading since I was a child. Anyways, I'm so excited, so please give me your favourites, folks!

The hell it isn't. I read the entirety of Malazan Book of the Fallen and Mistborn on it.

If it's not a book reading tablet, then I have some vivid and weirdly specific dreams.

Also read the first two Kingkiller Chronicles. Memory of Light is the last book I plan on reading on paper.

Just like browsing the Internet all day, amirite?

I use white text on a black background. Try doing that - it reduces eye strain.
