Kindle...
My mom gave me some money for graduation which she specifically forbid me to spend on bills or anything like that. I was supposed to use it to buy myself nifty gift stuff that I'd enjoy and keep around. Well, I'd been kind of depressed at the idea that in moving, we'd be boxing up all of our books and probably leaving them boxed in storage for the foreseeable future (chances are, the first place we live will not have enough room for all of our bookcases).

The solution was obvious: I used graduation money to buy an Amazon Kindle 2, which can hold 1,500 books electronically, includes unlimited access to Wikipedia and the Oxford English Dictionary, and which has a text-to-speech function that means I can listen to my books in the car. It even remembers where it left off when you decide to go back to reading it yourself again. It should get here on Thursday. Woohoo!
