Bleh.
Steve said:Right now I'm working through quite a few books:
The Last of the Mohicans, by James Fenimore Cooper
For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway
Digging for the Truth, by Josh Bernstein
The Man in the Iron Mask, by Alexandre Dumas
Coupled with my history and science textbooks, I stay very busy with reading these days.

Thanks for the link; I'll give it a look-see. I've been to sites like that, but not so diverse.DeeDub said:I read Mohicans recently, then rented the movie with Daniel Day-Lewis as Hawkeye. I was shocked at the shameless rewriting of the story to fit the usual sexual themes of recent Hollywood schlock.
This is a convenient place to put in a plug for Project Gutenberg. I downloaded The Last of the Mohicans, as I have many other public domain works, from Project Gutenberg. If you like to read the classics, that's a good place to start. While you're there, download George Washington's Farewell Address to the Congress. He had some insight into the partisan gridlock and foreign entanglements featured in US news today.

Orgetorix said:Just started reading (well, listening to) Robinson Crusoe--arguably the first English novel, written in 1719. It's great, and abridged versions that cut out Crusoe's reflections and commentary on Divine Providence just don't cut it.
The full title is The Life and Strange Surprising Adventures of Robinson Crusoe of York, Mariner: who lived Eight and Twenty Years, all alone in an uninhabited Island on the coast of America, near the Mouth of the Great River of Oroonoque; Having been cast on Shore by Shipwreck, wherein all the Men perished but himself. With An Account how he was at last as strangely deliver'd by Pirates. Written by Himself.
