I just finished "Learn Me Good" by John Pearson. The book was a free download from Amazondotcom last week, so I downloaded it to the Kindle app on my Android tablet. I don't have an e-reader yet.
This is the first complete book I've read electronically, and I'm still not sure if I like reading this way. I did love being able to read in bed without a book light (the tablet is back-lit), but I really missed 'feeling' how far along I was in the book. I found myself asking, "Where am I? Am I near the end?" Yes, there's a percentage bar, but 85% doesn't register in my brain the same way that the thickness of the pages did. Plus, there were a few blank pages before the final chapter, which threw me off. I'm easily confused...
Back to the book. The story is about an engineer who was laid off and took a job teaching third grade in Dallas. The book is a series of emails to his ex-cohorts at his old engineering company. He writes about his experiences as a new teacher, his students, their parents, the school district... Overall, it was an interesting (and funny!) book. If you can still get it for free, it's worth every penny!
