Some ebooks for you These are all legit and you won't have to pay for them. Be warned though that they are all 'proper' classic fiction, and if anyone else wants to add to this topic I for one wouldn't mind. Thanks for the go-ahead Buzzfloyd
I'm not sure what you mean by "'proper' classic fiction", or why anyone needs warning, but charity shops do it for me. I like to have and keep the books themselves.
Yeah, I dislike reading from a screen. Not only do I like the physical feel and smell of a book, but I also get a headache if I have to focus on words on a screen for too long. That's why I struggle to keep up with stories I read online. I'd rather print them off to read, but I can't afford the paper and ink that would take.
Actually, if you didn't mind, that would be awesome! I really liked the beginning, but I've struggled to read further for the reason given above. Same goes for anyone else writing boardfic - if you sent me a printed copy, I'd read it PDQ!
PDQ ? (In French, this would mean something like "loo-roll" ) Sure thing Grace, pm me your address and I'll send you off the first 10 chapters if you want to have some real fun, I can add a red pen and you can correct all my spelling and grammar Seriously, I do understand, I'm not good at reading long texts on screen either... If anyone else wants a copy, same thing, just pm me your address, and I'll send off a printout.
I've loved listening to Schickele Mix over the years. It's amazing where he seems to find these long lost copies of PDQ Bach's manuscripts. Edit: If you have Real Player you can hear some of his music here. Listen to the 1:11:11 segment. Quite hillarious and amusing.
'Classic' fiction predates 1956. Think cars and the difference between vintage, classic and veteran. I too prefer the tactile accompaniment when I read but carrying one electronic device is easier than 1200 - 1800 pages when you are travelling light for a week.
