Just like the title says. Picked up a Kindle recently and figured I'd mine you guys for ideas on things to pick up for it. May as well make it a general book recommendation thread while we're at it.
Picked these two up just to give the Kindle a work out:
Kitchen Confidential - Anthony Bourdain - I'd been meaning to read this for a while since I'm a fan of his Travel Channel show. It's a quick, entertaining read that's an interesting blend of personal memoir, commentary on the restaurant business, and meditation on good food mixed in with a steady stream of tales of debauchery. Definitely recommended if you're a fan of the show, but probably still a worthwhile read for anyone who doesn't mind the unapologetically crass tone Bourdain tends to favor.
Pakistan and the Mumbai Attacks: The Untold Story - Sebastian Rotella - I picked this up mostly on impulse as a way of checking out the Kindle Singles offered by Amazon, which are shorter pieces that sell in the $1-2 range. Roughly 38 pages in length, and totally worth it. It reconstructs what's publicly known about the lead up to and execution of the terror attacks on Mumbai in 2008. It (unfortunately) has all the elements of a well-written thriller - the relatively obscure Lashkar-i-Taiba terror group, its involvement with the Pakistani ISI, an American jihadi performing reconnaissance around the world, ignored warning, and the story of a French judge who was one of the few people taking the group seriously prior to Mumbai. This one is also available free-of-charge on ProPublica's website and I'd certainly encourage anyone to take the time to read it.
ETA:
One more. I haven't read this one personally yet, but it's in my "to-read" pile on the recommendation of another member here: What Every BODY is Saying - Joe Navarro
