I love my new Kindle and while it wasn’t free ($4.47) - the first book I ordered from Amazon was so good I sat in the airport lounge reading it and missing my plane. (The last plane scheduled for Denver that day)

I sent in a suggestion that the developers add a small clock - so you could watch the time while you read. Haha!

The name of the book: Hostile Intent by Michael Walsh.

Whatever you do, stay away from Ayn Rand. It will rot your brain.
I'm hoping that you forgot the /sarcasm.
At least read Atlas Shrugged.

No, I was being serious. I think Ayn Rand is what Kruschev meant when he said the Russians would bury us. They sent us that dang woman and oh....

I’m going to that link you put in.

parsy, who is trying not to think about you know who cause it makes his blood pressure go up

[philman_36]

A little too much effort has gone into demonizing Ayn Rand if you ask me.
Perhaps she was "on target" as well.

I read all of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes series (56 stories) via eBooks.

I've had good luck here

Onlinebooks

They have books in text and some have audio also. The only thing is some books can only be had if you are in Australia or some other country, but I have read many classics, including many of the old Science fiction stories of the 40s, 50s.
