    Who
    My name's Anita Wirawan and I love stories :).

    I read/watch a lot of stories and like to share the most interesting and unusual ones here to see what everyone else thinks about them.

    Why
    I had originally started this blog as a way to get things together after my brother Jody died back in 2008, but it's turned into a lot more than that.

    I hope you'll find the stories that you need here.

    What Next
    Feel free to look around the blog and add your own thoughts or stories, I'd love to hear 'em.

Aldiko: An Awesome (And Free) E-Book Reader For Android

Just thought I’d mention an app that I use practically every day on my phone, it’s called Aldiko and it’s an excellent e-book reader.

You can import your own books or browse their selection from the phone and find something that you like. What I really like about it though is that it has a lot of nice features like:

*A button that easily toggles between day/night mode so that you don’t fry your eyes when reading at night before bed.

*A dictionary you can use without leaving the page you’re on.

*A share function that you can use to send the page, book information, or selection of text from the page you’re on. I don’t know if this would be important to most other people but it’s a huge one for me as I like to save quotes from books for use in this blog or to copy over to my Moleskine when I get the chance. With Alkido I can just email the quote to myself and continue on my way with reading the book.

*It’s fast. This is super important especially if you’re trying to get some reading done in a small time frame like waiting for an appointment or something where every moment counts.

I don’t know if this app is available for iPhone or not but I can definitely recommend it for Android users who like to read :).
