Best source of free (old) ww e-books I've seen

you don't mind books that are over 100 years old, you are bound to find something you like at the site above.

I've grown fond of the style of expression used by many of the authors of yesteryear...

If I could just choose *one tool* I'm pretty sure I would choose the book. Being able to share a thought with someone from far away, from a different time and place, impresses the hell of out me when I think about it. And none of the books don't have trolls in them unless you want them there! ; )

Yes, it was considerably more considered and considerate, wasn't it?

"none of the books don't", Bill?

I gave up teevee for books, so my vote goes to them, too.

Yeah, you say them words right out! Don't hold back! Folks will thing you ate a frog fer breakfast or something-er-nother.

[That writing style is actually my cheap imitation of that of a particularly lifely-chick from another forum. Maybe I'll post a sample of her actual "work"--at least I hope it's her work! ; )] She can saw a fiddle like all-get-out too!

Cheers, Bill

LJ, Here a sample of the lady's "work". I like her unique way with words:

Recently I changed the settings at sites where I post my music from

'streaming only' to 'free download'. Duh, doofus me. Slow on the uptake.

Why did it take me so long? Listening to whoopazz full-combo stuff via

streaming turns everything into soft pop pablum coming outta tidy distant

speakers in the waiting room at the dentist's office. Too tidy, too

compressed, too polite. Though my mp3's are compressed, not the full

fidelity of the master recordings, they're still hotwired enough to allow

listeners the equivalent of blasting cassettes or radio on the car

stereo--i.e. yer basic american belly-beat joyride fun stuff--if ya DOWNLOAD 'em.

I mean, I could drop dead tomorrow and what would happen to the THIRTY YEARS of

recordings (all kinda genres, approaches, combos) I've got archived here?

Hello garbage bin, howdy rummage sale cast off. Phooey on that, get the sounds

out there, let em go to whoever likes 'em. Do it Fer Free since I'm a natcheral-born

commie anarchist anti-big-biz basic brat. The Record Bizness Is Dead and

Good Riddance To Bad Shark Weasel Rubbish!!

So ya want tons of TOTALLY FREE NO OBLIGATION Jane noise? Nema Problema!! Be my guest, mi sonic casa es su sonic casa:

I didn't see any double negatives there, Bill. What's the URL, anyway? She sounds like fun.

She doesn't write as much as she used to. But here is where I copied that text. I understand Jane is even more interesting in person.

the way, you should know I know a double-negative when I use one. Ain't you never heard of hyperbole? Some folks turn 'em on a lathe super fast...

Hah! I like her Click Dark comment: "Do it like minstrels always did it until Dick Clark came along and started selling his Show Biz Toxic Souvenir Snake Oil Hair Tonic and [r]uined everything that was good and simple in God's Creation. "

Ado.

Awe, I'm just trying to keep you amused. To lots of high-schoolers,a hyperbole is known as a hyperbowl, not to be confused with a superbowl, superball, a hyperball, a hyperbole or hyperbowling, as I'm doing here---oops, that's a metaphor.... (reminds me of a Abbott and Costello sketch).

Yes, they isn't.

-- Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplacable spark.

In the hopeless swamps of the not quite, the not yet, and the not at all, do not let the hero in your soul perish and leave only frustration for the life you deserved, but never have been able to reach.

The world you desire can be won, it exists, it is real, it is possible, it is yours. -- Ayn Rand
