LisaH 0 #27 February 25, 2009 Quote If you click on the link I provided on the opening of the thread, it lists the classics. The freebies have to be in that list. And it seems that they are mostly $1.99 books. They have blue/white covers on the page. You can change the page to list 100 books. And you can also make it do the books alphabetically. ooh ooh ok.... The House of the Seven Gables by Nathaniel Hawthorne Somebody's Luggage by Charles DickensBe yourself! MooOOooOoo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freeheelbillie 3 #30 February 25, 2009 Atlas Shrugged! Slow read at first, but the resemblance to what is going on in the world today is uncanny. Keep in mind it was written over 50 years ago… Gently pushing comfort zones since 1976... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnMitchell 16 #33 February 25, 2009 Quote these days..........ANYTHING but Dickens, or Steinbeck for that matter What's wrong with Steinbeck? I've enjoyed many of his works, although he is more modern than many classics. I like his direct style of story telling, many of the plots biblical.

JohnMitchell 16 #34 February 25, 2009 QuoteAsimov-nuff said Some of the best Sci-Fi I've read. The progression from "I, Robot" to the Foundation Trilogy was a cohesive look at man's possible future, with the same old human failings as always. Also enjoy the Space Odyssey trilogy by Arthur C. Clarke, but his story subtly shifts through the three books. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #35 February 25, 2009 Wow! There are 168 books listed for him. There are repeats of some books. I'm guessing they are rewrites or something. Most have different prices.

Well he was very prolific but he only wrote about a dozen or so Sherlock Homes stories, they are ALL good, so to TarzanYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS!

Sherlock Holmes didnt write any booksTry Arthur Conan Doyle under Authors I was referring to subject matter and I think if you look you WILL find several Complete Sherlock Holmes volumes. BTW, A C Doyle didn't write them either. Dr. Watson did. A C Doyle just gets the credit. quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stitch 0 #38 February 26, 2009 Anything by Alexandre Dumas is excellent. The picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde is very entertaining Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. Most of the Kerouac books are interesting. Just avoid anything by James Joyce.
