A friend asked me for book recommendations today, so I grabbed a list of all the books that I have purchased for Kindle: (read more »)

Hello, friends. I’m going to be out of town for 7 weeks out of the next 3 months, and need to stock up on books again. I read all of the books recommended the last time I asked for recommendations (the ones available for Kindle), and nearly all of them were fantastic!

Here’s what I read from that list:

• The Amber chronicles (all 10 books)
• A Thousand Splendid Suns
• Sex Lives of Cannibals
• Three Cups of Tea
• Water for Elephants
• Whatever You Do, Don’t Run

The rest were either not available for Kindle, or were books I had already read. I’m not a big fan of “cheap” plot books (e.g. Dan Brown), but I’ll read them if I have no other choices.

I’m currently reading Song for the Blue Ocean (but not available for Kindle, and thus, I only read it at home), Collapse (been trying for a couple of years), Quicksilver (of the Baroque Cycle — still trying), and have started a science fiction book called Spin.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I leave tomorrow morning, and will load up the Kindle before I step onto the plane. :)
