Free, Interesting ebooks for the Kindle

[boozehound]

Hook a brother up. It seems like most of the free ebooks available are either old (and old always= boring) or really crappy. Anyone have any recommendations? Or sources?

did you mean books that are legitimately free or ones that you can download in torrents and use a program to convert and upload them to your kindle. because the differences in recs are astonishing.

and any authors your enjoy reading? would help in recommendations.

Don't waste your time with torrents.

that was a joke, mostly. Yeah, I meant legit free books, but I may check out some of these other options. the free, .99, 1.99, etc through amazon seem so full of junk that its hard to find the good ones.

As for taste, here is a list of my 10 books that stuck with me

Rules: In your status line, list 10 books that have stayed with you in some way. Don't take more than a few minutes and don't think too hard - they don't have to be the "right" or "great" works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag ten people.

1. Blood Meridian - Cormac McCarthy
2. Moscow in Circle (Moscow to the end of line) - Venedikt Yerofeyev
3. Fierce Invalids Home from Hot Climates - Tom Robbins
4. Enduring Seeds - Gary Paul Nabhan
5. A Way in the World - V. S. Naipaul
6. The Famished Road - Ben Okri
7. The Fools Progress - Edward Abbey
8. Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee - Dee Brown
9. The Blind Owl - Sadegh Hedayat
10. Women - Henry Charles Bukowski

I would say my favorite authors are tom robbins, V.S. Naipaul, Gabriel Garcia Marquez,.........
