Par usual, wasn't sure where to put this, so I just put it here.


Project Gutenberg
There are over 20,000 free books in the Project Gutenberg Online Book Catalog.

A grand total of over 100,000 titles is available at Project Gutenberg Partners, Affiliates and Resources.


I accidentally found it while searching for a synopsis of Swan's Way? XD But it seems like a very good, extensive site. They have a lot of foreign language pieces too, so us language nerds can have a go at it. :)

Yeah, Gutenberg is awesome. Though it'll be a lot more useful once ebook readers really catch on, because then you can download the classics for free and read them without your eyes being melted out of your sockets by a computer screen.

That'll be nice. :D

Project Gutenberg is cool. And all the books they list are in the public domain, which means [I think] that they're no longer under copyright, so there's this cool website [which of course I can't remember off the top of my head EDIT: I think it's this one: http://librivox.org/links/#audiolit] to which people send in recordings of chapters they've read aloud; like an auditory Project Gutenberg.



'Tis the season to shovel enormous amounts of watermelon into your mouth while hunched over the cutting board like a dehydrated vampire that hasn't fed on blood in four hundred years and the only viable substitute is this questionable Christmas-colored fruit.
