Stephen Livingston | 50 comments Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
I'm 70% of the way through "Never Let Me Go" by Kazuo Ishiguro and so far it's very good.
Best wishes, Stephen Livingston.

Carlo Malonzo (carlo1em) | 2 comments I'm almost done with I'm No Monster: The Horrifying True Story of Josef Fritzl and No Higher Honor: A Memoir of My Years in Washington. After these two books, I'm going to read a long Stephen King novel. I love books, and my kindle. I can't imagine my reading life without it.

Valerie | 8 comments The past few days I decided to read some of the books I bought cheap to download on my Kindle.

First, I read the romantic thriller "Heritage" by Johnny Ray. The story was ok, but this guy really needs to get himself an editor. I had a really hard time looking past all the typos, misspellings and other grammatical errors. The writing style and dialogue was also quite juvenile. 1.5 stars

Then, I read Lethal People by John Locke. Kind of a silly James Bond-ish tale...very improbable, but entertaining nonetheless. Read the entire book in about 2-3 hours. 3.5 stars

Dorie (dorieann) I'm currently reading a short story, vicious circle by Todd Ritter. I love mystery novels set in small towns. Ritter has written two novels in his excellent series to date, and I'm looking forward to more. Meanwhile I found this ebook short.

Mary | 1 comments I've just finished reading Something Nice, by Andrew K Lawston.
It's a brilliant anthology of his short stories, thoroughly enjoyable and worth every penny at only 72p for the kindle.
When you buy books for the kindle cheaply you worry that the books going to be rubbish. But this is certainly not the case with this book. Go read it and it'll provide you with some lovely bedtime reading. A review can be round on the amazon website.

message 1669: by Julie (new)

Julie | 1 comments I downloaded the free e-book Critical Mass through my membership to ereadernewstoday.com, which posts free Kindle books available daily on Amazon. I prefer suspense/thriller mystery novels, so a quick look at the description made me think this book would be an interesting read. To my surprise, it was an okay read, awkward transitions and nothing special in creating conflict, but its real purpose was to the promote the anti-abortion, Pro-Life agenda. It starts off as any other thriller novel, but as you near the end it quickly ups the rhetoric to a stridently Pro-life agenda, and even includes a afterword by the author citing supposed research on why abortions are evil. So, reader beware. I posted this to this group merely to offer this warning about the agenda of this book.

Thanks for the heads up, Julie. Did you do a review or post a comment on the book page? I think that might be more effective for reaching potential readers of this book.

Yes, I liked Hollowland, i've brought the second book out which is only $2.99. I got the first because it was advertized here for free and the storyline look interesting. I think I gave it a 3 stars. Its not bad.

Phillip Cushman (pwcmd) | 30 comments I am currently reading Zane Grey's "Riders of the Purple Sage" which is a free book. Would love to read the next Dean Koontz "Odd Thomas" novel (Odd Apocalypse) due out in July 2012 but the $14 Kindle price is ridiculous. Maybe some rich sucker will let me know how it is.

Have you tried digital downloads through your local library, that is if they offer them? Mine seems to have the latest bestsellers rather than older books.

Darlene (dar49) | 18 comments I'm reading Not One Damsel in Distress World Folktales for Strong Girls by Jane Yolen which is fun so far, and Abigail Deane and the Demon's Gate by L.H.

I am willing to read Kindle digital downloads from the library but of the top 10 on the NY Times list my local library has only about half of them and only one copy of each at that. Just for reference figures there is a waiting list of 290 people for the "Fifty Shades of Grey" Kindle book and the fewest on a waiting list is 25. The interface for finding Kindle books is very poor also and you pretty much have to enter the name of a book you might want. You can't browse through the books to find something you like.

Lezlie | 2 comments I read Twilight by WILLIAM GAY and it gave me a shudder I have never felt before. Very dark Gothic southern lit. Description is amazing. Gay passed away in February...now must own his whole collection. Worth your time but be warned. Did I mention the shudder?

Calibre. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you have it down, it rocks.

Mobipocketreader does the job as well, but I think Calibre is easier for the file transfers and editing the metadata (title, author, etc).

My digital library is handled by Overdrive and I can select a genre or look at everything available. Sorry yours is not so user friendly.

Oh, I just had to look up Fifty Shades of Grey:

Available copies: 0 (1154 patron(s) on waiting list) Library copies: 25

LOL Glad I don't really want to read that one!
