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 :-)

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.

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.


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.

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.



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....



Jane Eyre
Something Missing
Irish Fairy Tales
War & Peace (don't worry I'm taking my time with this one!)
Admit One: My Life in Film

I'm also reading Sing You Home, but not on Kindle because the publisher charged more for the ebook than the hardback.

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



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.

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.


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

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

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.


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.

almost done - it certainly is a fascinating journey. Excellent and unique.
