Funny, I was looking for my summer reading plan and found that all of the Charles Darwin and Karl Marx Kendle books are free on Amazon!

I have actually been finishing my Outlander series and haven't thought of what's next. I usually browse the book store for a while and just pick them out. Free is always good I will browse through them and see if anything pops out at me. Thank you  |

If I'm not mistaken, many of the classics are free on Amazon. I just checked and there are 400 pages of free Kendle books on Amazon. Not a single classic on the first 4 pages. All romance novels.
I saw that Exodus by Leon Uris is free. I loved that one 30 years ago. (Yes I was reading before you were born).
Nathaniel Hawthorn's Scarlet Letter is free. That one might do you some good!
Homer's Odyssey is free. Now there's a classic!
1984 (Orwell) is a classic and will make you smart. It's free.
Don Quixote's free.
If you're set on audio books, Ayn Rand's The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged are AWESOME. They were read by different guys, but both of them are shockingly good. Just the voice of the narrators are ridiculously seductive.
If you like Ayn Rand

If you like Sci fi - Ender's Game. (I apologize for the movie - seriously) Or A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore
Thrillers - Orphan X is ok
Crime - the prostitutes ball by stephen j cannell
Or -The Troubles Series (I think the first is called "The Cold Cold Ground" By Adrian Mckinty
Also in Sci fi - "Old Mans War" John Scalzi

If you like Ayn Rand (I like Rand so thank you) Homers Odyssey is always good - For me it is like the tao te ching - I always find something new in it. |

wewbwb , you like Ayn Rand and have never read Fountainhead or Shrugged? I've never Listened to them. I've read Shrugged twice and Fountainhead once. When I didn't need them as doorstops. |

Wow thank you for the suggestions! I've read most of the classics mentioned except Orwell. Odyssey is always a great go to I've read that twice and started it again and left halfway.
I'm looking through those Sci Fi suggestions come to think of it I haven't picked one up in a long while.
