Well this is not an answer to your question but did you consider to use 
list? If your data are similar and you want to do some analysis with it 
list  seems to me as a better option than several objects.

read <- rep(vector("list", 1),9)

gives you an empty list

and
read[[1]] <- read.table(....
reads specified file to first position of list.

Be aware also that in R indexing starts at 1 not at 0.

Petr
