Books on my Kindle

Yesterday's post gave a link to my Kindle Wish List, items that I might be interested in purchasing sometime.  Today, I am posting a link to the Kindle items I currently have.  We have some items that are games on the Kindle and some items from other sources, such as FreeKindleBooks.org.  We have some books that I despise as especially poor writing and some that are too gruesome but basically, I like the collection.  It may be of interest to you.  A friend wrote yesterday that she spent half an hour looking at some of the items on yesterday's Wish List. 

I took a random sample of the list and counted how many of the sample I have read.  I used a loose definition of "read".  As a colleague found, I can often talk knowing about a book that I haven't read by any definition.  Normally, I wouldn't buy a book without having some idea of what it is about and some idea that I would enjoy or benefit from it.  Based on the result of my sampling, I estimate that I have read about half of the books on my Kindle.  Just in case you want me to tell you how I liked one of them.  I might know something.  If I do, I will gladly tell you.
