If 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...

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


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! ; )

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

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



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