What are you reading on your Kindle right now?

[Susan]

Stormhawk - your last suggestion was funny so I downloaded More Blood... to read on the beach. Am stocking up for a fortnight's holiday - any other ideas?
Have been reading everything I can get my hands on of Laurie R King - excellent turn of phrase in the Mary Russell books, her detective series and stand-alone thrillers are also pretty good. Had to buy lots of hard copies - most of the kindle versions not available to South African kindle owners.

[stormhawk]

World War Z and the Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' son) were great reads. Very internally consistent, sometimes funny, sometimes grimmy.

I always keep an eye on the Kindle Bestseller list, checking for free downloads ... I've hit quite a few of those that I've really enjoyed, but also a bunch that were not worth the time and space to download ... I'm not much of a romance reader! I do know that there is a Kindle edition of the original novel that the movie and TV series M*A*S*H were based on ... I read it many years ago, and still love it. The author is Richard Hooker.

For mysteries, Val McDermid's Tony Hill and Carol Jordan series are fantastic ... the British TV Series Wire in the Blood is based on the books. The first two are Mermaids' Singing and Wire in the Blood. They are the sort of books I enjoy reading on vacation.

Enjoy!

Feel free to check my profile and peruse some of my reviews. I read so much that even I can't remember all of them!

I started reading
It is currently a free book and I have to say my favorite free book so far.

[Rebecca]

FREE on Kindle! Lemony, Snicket Series of Unfortunate Events - The entire series is free with the exception of three of the books (#1,#7 & #8) which are $8.99 each ($26.97) for twelve books! I was floored - go get them while you can (I kept thinking it was a mistake). Happy reading my kindle mates!

Monday Night Jihad - Elam and Yon

(free download)

[Jackie M]

I am reading Dead Witch Walking a freebie of course.

Great if you're in EMS, not sure it would be as amusing for any..."

Tried it and found it light, sad to see the auto-destruction of the NHS and liked the narrator for his honesty. Susan

Danger to Self: On the Front Line with an ER Psychiatrist - Paul R. Linde

The Alexander Cipher - Will Adams

[Susan]

Thanks - have downloaded samples to try out. Really enjoy getting pointers as many USA authors are new to me - not on sale here often.
Have you read any of Barbara Kingsolver's novels? Latest, The Lacuna, was really good.

[Kathy]

I'm about to start Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub. I have this in hardcover, but am unable to carry it due to my bad back. So, I splurged and bought it for my Kindle. :)

[Karen]

Gena Showalter Atlantis Series Bundle - Just starting the 4th book, The Vampire's Bride.

Similar in subject material to The Alexander Cipher is Hamilton Wende's House of War. Think it may have to be bought in paper - no sign of a kindle version.

Thanks for the tip!

[Stan]

I just wanted to mention that I finished Moby Dick on my Kindle, it was a really great read, I highly recommend it! And since I'm in the mood for another classic, I've just started Don Quixote, so far, so good!

[Kathy]

I'm reading Black House by Stephen King and Peter Straub.

[Jennie]

Hey! I'm new to the group and I'm happy that I could find others that loved reading with their Kindle! I'm currently reading Dead and Gone by Charlaine Harris and A Passage to India by E.M. Forster. I know I will love Charlaine Harris's book but I'm interested in how I will like E.M. Forster's. Anyone read this book or any of his others?

[Steve]

I'm reading City of Dragons by Kelli Stanley — crime noir set in 1940 San Francisco with a female private detective, Miranda. Liking it so far but I'm always a sucker for the 1930s/40s.

The Losing Role

[stormhawk]

We the Living - Ayn Rand

A doctor who no longer works with me recommended it. She gushed and gushed over it, considering it her favorite book of all time. I'm halfway through and I'm not liking it as much as I did Atlas Shrugged.

[Kathy]

I've always wanted to read Ayn Rand. Whats a good book of hers to start with?

[Angela]

I am doing a major Kindle "house cleaning" I have so many free or low priced books I need to read. Right now it's Chronicles of Augustus Seton
So far I am enjoying it.

Not a huge one ... When you get around to Atlas Shrugged, you'll see what I mean. Actually, that was the first Ayn Rand book I ever read, and I loved it. Although I am not fully an objectivist, there is a lot of what she says in that book that I happened to agree with ... it was recommended to me by a friend who knew that I'd like it, and could deal with 1000+ pages. Anthem says a lot in a small number of pages, and I know that a lot of people recommend The Fountainhead, but that's still on my to-read list. If you are interested in post-revolution Soviet Union, We the Living is good.

[Kathy]

I'm definitely not afraid of 1000 + page books, but maybe I'll start with Anthem, just to get a feel for her before I dive in the one of the others. And I even have than on my Kindle, so I'm all set! Thanks, Stormhawk. :)

[Kathryn]

Musical Chairs
Don Quixote

I'm enjoying both. I do wish footnotes worked better on the Kindle, as I read Quixote. Edith Grossman's new translation has some excellent historical info, but when I follow a footnote, there's no way to return.

[Stormy]

I'm reading runaway: an airhead novel. I'm about 50% done with it then i don't know what I will read next.

[stormhawk]

The Dispossessed: An Ambiguous Utopia - Ursula K. LeGuin

Goodreads SciFi and Fantasy Group Read for June.

[Rachel]

The Synthesisis turning out to be such a fabulous read. I'm loving the characters, and the plot is addictive. If you like fantasy stories with plenty of excitement and discovery, I HIGHLY recommend it. Only 99 cents too! http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003OQUOFI

[Kathy]

Cool! I'll check it out! Thanks! :)

[stormhawk]

The Secret Speech - Tom Rob Smith

I enjoyed Child 44 and had been wanting to read this for a while, downloaded the sample, got hooked, and had to get the rest.

[stormhawk]

Atomic Lobster - Tim Dorsey

Free Kindle Download several months ago, finally got around to reading it. A LOT going on in that book. A LOT. More of A LOT than most novels. Crazy A LOT.

[Corina]

The Girl Who Played With Fire, Stieg Larsson. I loved the first one which I just finished last week. I gave myself a break by reading two other novels in between but I just started this one a couple of hours ago.

[Kathy]

I'm reading The Passage by Justin Cronin.

[stormhawk]

Tales from Chinatown - Sax Rohmer

(I have a couple DTBs that were free-for-review that I have to finish first, and then a pile of books from a friend after that)

[Kyle]

I'm reading The Passage by Justin Cronin.
Next will be The Death and Life of Charlie St. Cloud by Ben Sherwood.

[Scott]

The Art Of War. Ah, not the correct edition, but there were 64 pages of editions. I'm reading the Kindle on obviously. I'm hoping to reload my kindle again this weekend. YAY payday!

[Sassy]

I am reading in Cold Blood, but supposed to be reading The Divine Comedy. I have a ton of to read books, but a lack of time. My husband says I do not read as much as I used to, but working on that right now! So there's a new Kindle in the neighborhood eh! Well I must try and pawn mines off...it's time for an updated version. Happy reading everyone!

[stormhawk]

The Force is Middling in this One - Robert Kroese

Very, very funny.

[Jamie]

I just got a Kindle for my birthday, and I am currently reading:



Loving it so far!

[stormhawk]

Tales of Chinatown - Sax Rohmer

It was one of the free classics. Sax Rohmer is best known for having written the Fu Manchu mysteries. I have a couple DTBs that I need to read for reviews, and also a pile of books that a friend loaned to me, so I was looking for a kindle book to read in between ... short stories are the perfect format for that!

[Jennie]

I'm currently reading Blood Promise, the 4th book in the Vampire Academy series. I'm really enjoying this series and have read the three previous books on my Kindle.

[stormhawk]

Breakthrough!: How the 10 Greatest Discoveries in Medicine Saved Millions and Changed Our View of the World - Jon Queijo

(freebie, but really interesting)

[Kathy]

I am currently reading Marlin Darlin; a mystery by Margaret Langstaff; available for the Kindle from Amazon for 5.99. well worth the price. The main character Garnet Sullivan is a wannabe ambitious newspaper reporter with man trouble, dog trouble, and a classroom full of adult education students she teaches while waiting for the `big story'. Each of the students has enough troubles of their own to sustain twenty books. I like books that make me laugh, and leave me wanting more pages!

[Chris]

I just finished John Verdon's Think Of A Number, which I would reccomend for a summer detective thriller. You won't be dissapointed in Mr. Verdon's first venture into the mystery novel genre.

Currently, I am reading Ben Sherwood's The Survivors Club: The Secrets and Science that Could Save Your Life. This book is beyond the study of fight or flight and is at the very least a very interesting read, as well as a chance for an introspective look at how you would react if your life were on the line.

[stormhawk]

Swing, Swing Together: A Sergeant Cribb Mystery - Peter Lovesey

I adore Sergeant Cribb ... these books have been out of print since the 1970s. I'm thrilled to be able to read them on Kindle!! The last two of the series were just released in June 2010.

[Sassy]

I am reading a few books, Intelligent Investor, By Graham, Fire your Stock Analyst, By Domash and the Shadow Effect, By Chopra & Williamson.

[stormhawk]

House of the Seven Gables - Nathaniel Hawthorne

I was just in Salem on vacation, didn't take the tour, but drove past the house.

[Deb]

I'm reading "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak along with a couple of
others - I need to have a couple of fun reads along with a serious one. "Gone to Green" by Judy Christie and "Juliet: A Novel" by Anne Fortier are my alternate reads. I love getting the book samples - they are another favorite read when I want something short.

[stormhawk]

Back to Deathbird Stories by Harlan Ellison for myself and Boneshaker by Cherie Priest for a book club.

[Kyle]

The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Stephen Chbosky.

[Ms6282]

I've had my Kindle 3 for three weeks now and have got through two books - "The Lacuna" by Barbara Kingsolver and "No and Me" by Delphine de Vigan.

I downloaded samples of these and after reading them decided to buy the books. The ability to download samples is a good feature and I've got quite a few more to look at before I decide which will be the next book I'll buy.

I've also downloaded a number of free books (classics) and have made a start on Ulysees by James Joyce after returning from a holiday in Ireland where I visited Sandycove tower, near Dublin, where the first chapter of the book is set.

[stormhawk]

As Always, Julia: The Letters of Julia Child and Avis DeVoto and On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society

one of these things is not like the other ... ;)
