My reading is on Fire

Since my wife gave me a Kindle Fire for Christmas, I've become a reading machine again. I'm not reading as much as when I was a kid, but more than I have in many years. I resisted the e-book phenomenon because I couldn't rationalize the cost of the machine, and because as a "book person," I love actually possessing books. Kathy took the first objection out of my hands, and I've come to acknowledge the idea that a book's worth is the ideas it contains, not the paper it's made of. (Still, I know that I'm only a drained battery or an EMP away from not having anything on my Kindle.)

Here's a list -- eclectic would be accurate, although crime fiction and political nonfiction seem to dominate -- of what I've read so far:

A Study in Scarlet, A. Conan Doyle

The List, J.A. Konrath

Demonic, Ann Coulter

The Lincoln Lawyer, Michael Connelly

The Sign of the Four, A. Conan Doyle

Critical Confrontations, Patterson et al

Decision Points, George W. Bush

Outlining Your Novel, K.M. Weiland

Deathworld, Harry Harrison

Afraid, Jack Kilborn

Killing Floor, Lee Child

Deathworld 2, Harry Harrison

Crime Stories, J.A. Konrath

Planet of the Damned, Harry Harrison

Afterthoughts, Lawrence Block

Die Trying, Lee Child

Write Your Blook in 30 Days, Dee Burks & Liz Ragland

Who Really Cares, Arthur Brooks

The Right Fights Back, Evan Thomas, Mike Allen & Politico

The Secret Knowledge, David Mamet
