And, of course, briefly explain why it rocks. My entry will be the [Internet Sacred Texts Archive](http://www.sacred-texts.com/index.htm). The first entry in its FAQ explains its value quite well: [QUOTE=[http://www.sacred-texts.com/faq.htm](http://www.sacred-texts.com/faq.htm)] Q: What is [sacred-texts.com](http://sacred-texts.com)? A: This site strives to produce the best possible transcriptions of public domain texts on the subject of religion, mythology, folklore and the esoteric. The texts are posted for free access on the Internet. This site is like a public library: it is accessible to anyone, contains unfiltered information, and does not advocate any particular point of view. However, nobody is going to shush you if you make too much noise while using this site. [/QUOTE] I came across this site while doing some research for the novel I am, at this very instant, avoiding working on. My favorite bits thus far are the [The Unicorn: A Mythological Investigation](http://www.sacred-texts.com/etc/tu/index.htm) and the entire damn Judaica section. If you’re a special sort of nerd, this site is for you. But that’s just me. Anyone else? Anyone? Bueller? ---
