Perhaps I have an odd schedule for reading my Ebooks, but I read them ONLY at bedtime. Each day I read one chapter of each of several books - with the Ereader, I no longer have a great stack of books beside the bed!!

Right now I'm reading the following:
-The Zeppelin's Passenger, by E.Phillips Oppenheim (a great W.W.I story set in England),
-Ticket No."9672" by Jules Verne (somewhat tedious, but a good story nonetheless; set in Norway long ago)
-Star Nation Evolution by Richard J. Boylan (sort of an E.T. conspiracy-theory book; interesting if you're into that sort of thing)
-The Plant Hunters by Mayne Reid (a true story, I think, about a young plant hunter and his experiences searching for new varieties in the Indian Himalayas in the 1800s)
-The Planter of Malata by Joseph Conrad (about a planter in the 1800s in the South Pacific)
-On Secret Patrol in High Asia by L.V. S. Blacker ( about the British Corps of Guides who secretly patrolled the border regions between China and India in the 1800s)
-Over Prairie Trails by Frederick Philip Grove (autobiographical story of a teacher in the prairies of Canada in the early 1900s - a bit tedious, but a very good description of the area before the advent of modern roads, etc.)
-[It's Up to You, Now!by Neil Haddon (sort of a self-help/conspiracy theory book but a really good book, with lots of up-to-date info. on brain research, etc.) This, along with most of the others, is a free download.
-Japanese Poetry & Prints (Unfortunately, my Sony 600 doesn't show the wonderful colours in this one.) I converted this from a website owned by Visipex.com and I assume from what I read that it was all right to do so. I have it as an Epub on my reader.
-The Golden Scorpion by Sax Rohmer ( an excellent Fu Man Chu - style thriller from the twenties! I'd highly recommend it!
-The Cariboo Trail - A Chronicle of the Gold Fields of British Columbia by Agnes C. Laut (got this one from the Gutenburg Project and reformatted it as an Epub book, which reads much more easily. The title says it all. A really good read, if this subject interests you.
-Ayesha of Constantinople by Sherwood Cobb (a love story set in Constantinople in the 1800s, I think, which deals with the cultural differences between western and Muslim societies at that time.
-The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart & Roery Hopwood ( another detective story set back in the '20s - really good!)
-Arctic Drift by Clive Cussler ( I bought this one and it's well worth the price! It's about politics, environmentalism, etc., with a really good villain!)

No wonder I have to sleep in late each morning, eh?
