stormhawk | 542 comments Hope you enjoy the adventure! I'm not familiar with that book. Load up on some free classics you've been meaning to get to for years, and I'm also sure you'll get a lot of good recommendations from folks here on GR.

Regina (reginar) I enjoy Lisa Kleypas and loved Outlander too.

I am reading:

Heir to the Shadows (The Black Jewels, #2) by Anne Bishop on my Kindle and (*hides head*) some library ebooks on my nook. :)

I didn't realize that was available on Kindle. I'll have to get a sample.

I agree with Stormhawk. There are lots of free books you can download to your Kindle from the Amazon Kindle store including many classic and contemporary novels. I have found lots of great books! Let us know what you find :-)

Sherry | 4 comments I am just starting Family History by Dani Shapiro.....


message 558: by Steve (new)

Steve Anderson | 60 comments About a third into the historical mystery The Empty Mirror by J. Sydney Jones. It's set in 1890s Vienna, where renowned Austrian artist Gustav Klimt is a prime suspect for grisly murders. Good stuff with various historical figures in cameos including Mark Twain, and it's holding up pretty well in comparison to my last read, True Grit — definitely a tough act to follow.

I would love to read it, but the price is a no go for me. I have set a paperback price or less limit for all my e-books due to the dh being laid off for almost a year. Actually when he gets back to work I may keep that rule for myself since I have gotten used to it.

Barbara (babs88) | 4 comments Books on the Knob. Blog about free Kindle Books. Here are two titles that were just posted today (3/6/11) The Immigrants and Best little stories from the civil war.

Colette Guerin (coletteguerin) | 5 comments Erin wrote: "Im reading Anthem by Ayn Rand, its really weird, Im only reading it because Im entering an essay contest for it. Has anyone else read it? Cause Im having trouble getting through it."

Rand's "Anthem" is just dystopian literature. I like Rand, but "Anthem" seems to be a rip off of Yvgeny Zamyatin's "We". Zamyatin was a Russian author who somehow escaped Stalin's wrath and had "We" published in Europe. If you were to read "We", which can be bit confusing in nature too, you would see he was the inspiration for Rand, Orwell and the like.

I started Jane Eyre as well.

Hi, I'm new to the group but was wondering how you are finding 'A Discovery of Witches'? I quite fancy it but was thinking of getting it with my audible credit.


message 572: by Clare K. R. (new)

Clare K. R. (clare-dragonfly) I am reading Plagues and Peoples and also The Cases That Haunt Us. Love John Douglas--he's the founder of the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit and he writes about the crimes he's helped solve and how he solved them, looking at the criminals' behavior. This book is about unsolved and controversial cases from the past, including Jack the Ripper, and how he would investigate and who he thinks are the real perpetrators.

I read it because I was looking for a book with a strong alpha hero for a club read. I wouldnt give away any spoilers but its one hell of a read....

Karie | 1 comments Halfway through the Illustrated man by Ray Bradbury. I'm not usually into scifi books (I didn't even know it was considered scifi until I saw it under that genre on another site), however this one is turning out to be pretty interesting.


message 578: by [deleted user] (new)

Just started The Chrysalids by John Wyndham

Gill (lockwdg) | 49 comments Just completed Room and just started Middlemarch

Judy | 6 comments I am reading Life From Scratch, but not enjoying it too much. After reading the wonderful Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society it just can't compete.

message 582: by Angela (new)

Angela (angelah110) | 82 comments I'm reading and listening to The Secret History of the Pink Carnation
I'm also reading Sing You Home, but not on Kindle because the publisher charged more for the ebook than the hardback.

Lee Lee (leeleew) I'm reading Water for Elephants. Really interesting book.

I loved Water for Elephants. Does the kindle version have the old photos at the beginning of each chapter?


message 585: by Sue (new)

Sue Tint (suetintlovesindies) I'm reading Afterlife by Claudia Gray, the last installment of the Evernight series,,, about 30% through and not completely thrilled with it right now,,, I hope it does not disapoint!


message 586: by Ryn (new)

Ryn (rynj) I'm reading The Scorch Trials, sequel to The Maze Runner. So good. Like, really a lot. Hunger Games standard.

Kathy (bookgoddess1969) I'm reading Turn Of the Screw by Henry James. Really good, so far. :)

Love, love love, Brabury. Especially The Martian Chronicles and Something Wicked This Way Comes. And The Illustrated man, of course.

Am reading The Hunger Games right now and really enjoying the book. Well, if you can enjoy a book about teens having to fight to the death.

Traci (highxflyer) | 33 comments A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire, #1) by George R.R. Martin

I'm on the fence about it so far. It's gotten easier to read as I've gotten farther along though.

I loved Water for Elephants.
Lahni.. yes the old pictures are in the Kindle verson. Some of them are tough to see though.

Glad you liked the book.


message 592: by Terrie (new)

Terrie Morgan I recently read a couple of series by Terri Blackstock. I am now reading Saving Cee Cee Honeycutt. It is fabulous! Just started it yesterday and I will finish it tonight. If you liked The Help (I liked it but didn't love it) you will definitely like this one!

I recently read CeeCee Honeycutt too. I thought it was cute. It reminded me more of "The Secret Life of Bees" than it did "The Help".

I haven't read "The Secret Life of Bees", I will check it out. I liked "The Help" but didn't love it. I think it just had too much hype prior to me reading it. Have you read "Roses"? It by far has been the best book I've read this year!

I heard that once you get into it, you are hooked and can't wait for the next one to come out. I saw it is going to be a series on hbo. I am going to watch it for sure. Let me know when you finish it what you think I have the paperback in my tbr pile.


message 596: by Marcus (new)

Marcus (biomimetic) | 3 comments Grabbed Dan Brown's The Lost Symbol. I'm a sucker for Robert Langdon.

I just finished Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End. That was some good classic SciFi.


message 597: by Chrissie (new)

Chrissie I have started Ava's Man. the author, Rick Bragg, really has a touch with words. It is about the author's mother and grandfather growing up in the Appalachian foothills during the Depression. It is the writing that pulls you in right from the start. Peek in and you will see what I mean.

This is my first book with my new Kindle. I LOVE reading with it. I adore not needing to use a magnifying glass!!!!! Jeeze, I should have bought a Kindle ages ago.


message 598: by Weenie (new)

Weenie | 55 comments Reading Jo Nesbo's The Redbreast - Nesbo has been billed as the next Stieg Larsson but the only thing similar so far is that he's Scandanavian too so names and places can be a little hard to pronounce! That's not to say he's not good - oddly readable.

stormhawk | 542 comments Prey on Patmos - jeffrey Siger

Mystery set in Greece, involving the murder of a priest on the Isle of Patmos (where Revelations was written) during Easter Week.

Not bad. I have it as an electronic galley, should have been published in January.

Anita | 11 comments Madre: Perilous Journeys with a Spanish Noun
