For those who are not aware, check out the gutenbergproject.org. It has tons of free electronic books, of which I think the War of the Worlds is one.
Chapter 11 just called to say that my copy of 1776 is in. Can't wait to begin. Am ostensibly giving it to Dad on Sunday but will be reading it as well!
The Kite Runner was awesome!
Also just finished The Other Boelyn Girl. Another great read.
Two I'd like to get to:
Tis by Frank McCourt
You, The Owner's Manual
Please add me to the ping list!
Here is the link for anyone interested. They have tons of free books, and also some audio.
