Over the years, I've directed people seeking out-of-print texts and works that have long since fallen into the public domain to the Gutenberg Project. Gutenberg has a wide variety of texts available from classic literature to some modern works (thanks to the authors' generosity). I'll even confess: I've used Gutenberg to find texts that I didn't want to check out from the library (I hate libraries) but required a citation. Of course, sometimes it's much handier to have the print in a digital form that is more conducive to online searches and the likes, even if you have the book in print.

Anyway, since I know we have some people here who might find this useful, check the link out if you've never been to the Gutenberg Project before. Otherwise, browse their top 100 eBook list. You'll find works from H. G. Wells (no, that's not Highgrade Wells, though we could pretend he requested a posthumous name change) to the Iliad by Homer. Take a browse! Who knows what you might find?

I'll stick to pirating the movies. But <3's for the link in case I need a book for class!

It's a good reference to use if you're having to read through a book that's no longer copyrighted (Gutenberg only publishes works that are in the public domain or have been released openly as such--for the legalese, you might want to read the site FAQ). But, I've found it's much more useful if you're having to read an old text and suffer from a lazy streak. Simply purchase the book for class and use the Gutenberg text to search. It's truly a marvelous solution.

I personally use eBooks for their amazing use of :drumroll: ctrl+f.

I recently got the Scarlet Letter for class (in the public domain now), and just ctl+f'd through assignments. It was amazing.

HMMM Highgrade Wells, Fairly certain my name and the name of one of the worlds best authors should not be included in the same thought process lol. but then again my presence and awesome reputation may have traveled in time and influenced the name sake. =P

We killed some wild life during the culling of Stratholme. I think we just killed some villages due to them starving to death. Damn butterfly effect.

[Zancarius]
