Kindle Literature had another great month in July. Our readership is increasing daily but we still have not received a review on Amazon. If you like the blog, you can leave us a review on the Kindle Literature Amazon page and that would really help with spreading the word about Kindle Literature. Also, check out our Kindle Literature Facebook Page to keep up with the latest news.

Here are the books covered in July.

Walden - An early American masterpiece by Henry David Thoreau. Walden was a social experiment by a very influential American philosopher.

Kindle Giveaways - A post about three Kindle giveaways in July. The giveaways have ended but they are sponsoring new giveaways for August.

The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane’s war novel about the American Civil War. A great classic that needs to be studied more.

The Giver - The award winning children’s book that has been banned. This is a great book that adults can also enjoy.

The Los Angeles Diaries - James Brown’s wonderful memoir about perseverance and coming to terms with life’s tragedies.

Animal Farm - George Orwell’s allegory about the Soviet revolution. Number 31 on the Modern Library’s list of 100 best novels.

Slaughterhouse-Five - Kurt Vonnegut’s most famous novel. The book blends metafiction and science fiction. A sheer pleasure to read. Number 18 on Modern Library’s list of 100 best novels.

June 2012 Roundup

June was a big month for Kindle Literature. We were mentioned by Black Clock, a great literary journal, and we made a few connections to other literary blogs. Our readership increased quite a bit and we were tweeted and recommended by a few of our readers! It’s great to get a response back from readers, that is why we have a new Facebook page, so please like and share it.


Here are last month’s posts, in case you missed some.


  • Ray Bradbury - We lost a great American writer last month. Best known for Fahrenheit 451. I personally love his short stories, he wrote hundreds and hundreds of them, there is something for everyone.
  • The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin - Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography has been a staple of american literature for over two hundred years. This is a very candid look at his successes and failures. He was a very successful person and gives many of his keys to success.
  • Soliloquy - First in the Shakespeare Series. Post explains Soliloquies in relation to Shakespeare, specifically Hamlet.
  • Dramatic Irony - Second post of the Shakespeare Series. Explains Dramatic Irony in Shakespeare and discusses King Lear.
  • Lit Challenge: 1 book in 1 month - A new literary challenge for June. This one is how to use a Kindle progress bar to read any book in a month.
  • Poe’s Poetry - Intro to Edgar Allan Poe and links to his biographies and poems available on your Kindle. Includes the full poem Alone and first stanza of Annabel Lee.
  • The Picture of Dorian Gray - Oscar Wilde’s cleaver novel about a Faustian wish come true.
