Hope you make it back to HK some time.<br /><br />KJ, It's true that it is more difficult to tell what people have on their e-readers. However, I've noticed that people with iPads (which are incredibly popular here already) are far more likely to be playing games or checking email than reading.<br /><br />Wow Joyce, that sounds like some serious dedication! I would imagine this made it a lot more difficult for that man to appreciate the momentum of the story.<br /><br />Enbrethiliel, my students back in the states really liked that book too. Another favorite was The Mysterious Benedict Society, which is a fabulous middle grade book.Shannon Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17375300716238391523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-66697440384783413122011-05-24T02:57:27.317+08:002011-05-24T02:57:27.317+08:00+JMJ+

When I mentioned it to one of my tutees, she said that most of the grade school boys she knows are reading the series.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-54783265456798716422011-05-23T17:23:32.640+08:002011-05-23T17:23:32.640+08:00I spent the weekend in Shenzhen, China.

At an Italian cafe, an American man was reading a Stieg Larsen novel in Mandarin( I recognised the author's photo on the back!)He was looking up words (characters?) using an i-phone app and sometimes writing them down and checking with the waiter. Looked like hard work!Joycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04457861370241862301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-848620772908416660.post-9789435174459385402011-05-23T07:07:39.921+08:002011-05-23T07:07:39.921+08:00It's getting harder to tell with more e-reader...It's getting harder to tell with more e-readers popping up. I feel that my reading is more anonymous.
