I've read over 20 books within the last six weeks of having my Kindle!  I read three times as much now that I have it!  Shocked   Cheesy

1. The White Tiger by Aravind Adiga
2. Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh *
3. Oryx and Crake by Margaret Atwood
4. Saturday by Ian McEwan
5. The Picture of Dorian Grey by Oscar Wilde *
6. Black Beauty by Anna Sewell *
7. Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
8. Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy    
9. The Sign of The Four by Arthur Conana Doyle *
10. The Book of Dragons by E. Nesbit *

The * are rereads, some from a very long time ago!  I'm afraid I'm limited by low book-buying funds and have to take advantage of the freebies a lot.  I am quite thankful for them!  Grin
