August - September Book List

I was very busy in August and just re-read a few Jane Austen novels besides some mass market crap not worth mentioning.
In September I slogged through some biographies ... (Stalin, Mussolini) Read a few spy novels ( enjoyed The Charm School by Nelson de Mille.) In August I received a gift - an Amazon Kindle, which I was unsure of at first. I ordered some free samples, a load of classics, and a few bestsellers and began to use the Kindle.
