The A** Is A Poor Receptacle For The Head: Why Democrats Suck At Communication, And How They Could Improve by Barry Eisler was the first book I borrowed from the Lending Library since I have just finished the entire John Rain series by Barry Eisler (some audio books; some ebooks) - highly recommend:
Rain Fall Hard Rain Rain Storm Killing Rain The Last Assassin Requiem for an Assassin The Detachment Fault Line -standalone Inside Out -Fault Line sequel My second Lending book is the first in the series of the Hunger Games. Water for Elephants is a pretty good book - read it before I got the Kindle. Last edited by Hope; 02-12-2012 at 11:50 AM. |

Moneyball is my February freebie. I'm not much of a baseball fan, but I figured it might be an interesting read anyway. Last month I read Mercury Falls, which was a sort of Douglas Adamsy take on the the End of Days. Not bad, though it dragged a bit.

March is the Mockingjay for me. I really like these "free" books.

Yeah me too.
Sadly Mockingjay is the weakest of the 3 books. But once you start the Hunger Games books you have to finish them off right? Looking forward to the movie this month |

I borrowed In The Blood for March. It's a genealogical crime mystery by Steve Robinson. It's had some good reviews and some so-so.

I opted for Water for Elephants and started reading it. So far so good.

Reading The Big Short.
Anybody have suggestions for browsing the lending library books? I followed a link that lists all of the books but I find it pretty hard to sort through the content. |

@Dragle - you're fine just reading the first Hunger games and stopping. No big deal with 2 and 3. Read them when you want down the road.
1st one is cool due to the action and pace. 2 and 3 are slower and not as exciting and dont hold you as tightly interested. #1 I read in 2.5 days almost non-stop due to the page turning goodness. |
