Note to self: I should post reviews of these books sometime. Or the ones I ended up reading all the way through, at least.
Bookpost. Cross-posted to my lj.

As I was saying at the writing group meeting last night, I recently discovered Project Gutenberg, where they archive many pieces of literature that have passed into the public domain. They have ebooks (mostly in plain-text format) and also various audiobooks, both computer-generated and human-read. Definitely worth a look for you readers out there.
Current reading list:
- The Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath, H.P. Lovecraft (yes, still. Along with lots of other stuff by Lovecraft. I still owe someone an e-mail about this.)
- Tales of Wonder, Lord Dunsany
- The Sorrows of Young Werther, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Regarding that last book...
( Most of you probably already know how this story ends, but I'll cut this entry anyway. And it might be triggering for some people, so fair warning. )
I'll comment on the other stories later. I have things to work on tonight first, though.

I buy books.

( I buy them because I am *weak.* )
