One can never be too well-read.

Just searching around Amazon.com and I came across this:  It's a collection of short stories, 5 stars with 9 reviews, and 1.99. I looked at the sample but it's all introduction written by someone other than the author, and all right-justfied. So use your judgment on this one. And for the cat lovers, this one looks really cute, and comes in at 3.96.  Edit:  Folklore inspired ghost stories for a 1.60! I'm reading the sample now and I'm liking it.

Both because it's off topic, and also merits its own thread, I'm going to split off the posts about the Washington Post Book Review. You can now find them here: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,3032.0.html Please continue that discussion there. Keep posting those bargain books, folks, I just bought 8! So bad! Betsy

 3.50 I have always wanted to read this one about Mount Everest but it got lost along the way, now I get it on Kindle for a bargain.  2.80 I think this will be an eye opening read and I am very interested in it. Having recently done some touring on a trip to Charleston, SC, this book by a slave girl sounded really intriguing and I ordered it. Thanks for the tip.

 Folklore inspired ghost stories for a 1.60! I'm reading the sample now and I'm liking it. I read a sample, liked it a lot, and I've just 1-clicked. Thanks for the recommendation!

President Barack Obama's Inaugural Address and Other Speeches and Debates. Published by MobileReference (mobi).
Author: Barack Obama
Price: $0.01 From a cursory glance, this seems REALLY nice. It has tons of speeches and other information. Whether you voted for him or not, I'd say this is definitely worth a penny.

Thanks so much CS!! What a great buy for a penny!! My son gave me a gift card for Christmas and he cannot believe how many books I've already bought with it.... this makes book 16 and I still have over 3/4 of the card left.

They must have done that to capture those folks who wouldn't give 2 cents for anything to do with the guy. A penny or less seems to be the magic number for guaranteed clicking.

I just went through the TOC and it really does have a lot. The only speech it doesn't seem to have that I was hoping for is his victory speech in Chicago the night of the election.

I agree with you on that Chad. Every politician has positives and negatives including the one that holds the office of President. I have found each book I read on Presidents very informative and I love the history I am learning. John Adams i is my next President book and I am looking forward to it.

I just found this one from a tipoff in another forum. You can buy the ebook for $2 (via Paypal). It's am unsecure PDF that will be auto-mailed to you. There is a preview on the site that you can read. It sounds hilarious, so I, um, four-clicked? www.uncubicled.com
