It's a turn of the 20th century novel about Sigmund Freud's only visit to America. Didn't know anything about the book or the author. It's nothing heavy and total fiction but I really like it.

Happened to see the author interviewed on television totay. He has just written a new book called The Death Instinct. It has some of the same main characters and is centered around the 1920 terrorist bombing of Wall Street. It too will probably be on my list sometime soon.

I really enjoy historical fiction. Jack Whyte is my favorite. Camulod Chronicles and The Templar trilogy are both excellent. Knights! Camelot, King Author and the Knights of the Templar, awesome reading.

I'm currently reading two things. I have to read Fun Home for my English class. It's a graphic novel and not something I would typically read, being a student sucks. However in my free time I'm enjoying more Vonnegut, my favorite. This time I'm going with Deadeye Dick.

Rereading Process and Reality by Alfred North Whitehead. Haven't read this since my junior year in college. Brings back memories of a special professor and an exceptional honors seminar.:tu

Just started: What color is your parachute. I feel like I am back in High School with the end of my time in the Army headed at me quickly. This book is helping me arrange my thoughts.

Sisters of Glass

Just got a new Nook Color and this is my first book on it, free off of B&N :D
Good read, I would recommend it if you are into the dystopian/science fiction/drama type of book, which I am.

Anyone know of other free stuff along the same lines?

Arctic Drift by Clive and Dirk Cussler. My first book by Cussler. Not bad. My son bought it for me when I was in the hospital having some tests done.
