sites, articles, anything worth a quiet read…
This has a lot of Movie scripts. I really like it when I need to burn up some time.
The Economist: lots of good information on current events.
This question inspired me to look up a site I read from YEARS ago. It’s a little better looking now…
(Internet Public Library)
Back in the day, if memory serves, it simply hosted raw texts of books… now it seems to have shifted roles from ‘host’ to ‘portal’
Still good though
In a recent discussion here, I followed a link to the ERBZine site that had some of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ books online in public domain. I opened one as a web page on my PDA, and the whole text of A Princess of Mars was on my PDA as offline content! This allowed me to read it at my leisure, whenever I had a spare moment. I am now reading the second book Gods of Mars, again in the spare moments.
Mr. Burroughs’s novels were what I read as a fourth grader instead of comic books. This is a great opportunity to revisit some of the great books of my youth.
Arts & Letters Daily is good.
Moving thread from IMHO to Cafe Society.
Very nice, I was getting bored on the night shift here, not anymore!
I recently reviewed 21 and told people who didn’t want the fluffy Hollywood version, just the story, to read The Wired article from their archives.
Project Gutenberg is chock-full of online books, provided they were published earlier than 1920 or so. I love to find kind of obscure old stuff that I can’t find anywhere else.
Baen free library has a bunch of free books.
Has our guest (welcome, BTW) has read all the columns already?
