Project Gutenberg

I saw this site, and you can download almost any book. I want to go back and read the classics, this is cool.

I tend to like to actually own the books. I can't stand ready whole books on the internet/computer.

Despite the practicality of the internet, there I agree with you Master Justice the is nothing like the feel of a book. My books are like friends who you can hold and who smile at you everyday. They are like companions who follow you throuhout life. On looking at someone`s bookshelf you can even distinguish someone`s development and journey through life.

although i'm all about getting literature out there and in a format that anyone can read- i have to agree with Masters Jon and Justice.
there is a certain power that a book has. maybe it's in the \"curling up with a good book\" or maybe it's something in holding the book that puts you more in touch. but it's just something you can't get off a computer.
i actually print off the books i've gotten off the computer and read them that way typically.

Oh yes Br.Stevef how true. One of my dreams is to have a room full of books. What an atmosphere.

Being an OTR driver I prefer the convenience of downloading and reading books,articles, and whatnot on my laptop. It allows me to bring more material with me than it would than if I had to carry several books, magazines in the space I have available.
