I’m sure this is alot of folks’ here favorite site and, all evidence to the contrary, one of mine too. Another site I spend some time browsing is amazon. What i like about it, besides the prices and free shipping, is the extensive reviews. It might be a cop-out but if you look up Milton’s Paradise Lost for instance you can gain alot of information, knowledge and insights about the work by just reading the reviews. A virtual Cliff’s Notes! Well like I implied it’s not exactly like reading the book but still not a bad way to gain some knowledge. I suppose alot of people will discover sites because of interests or new hobbies which is how I found C&F a couple of years ago. Lately I’ve been getting back into mountain biking…I had my bike ripped off several years ago and just recently bought another… so discovered this site called Bike Forums. It has alot of similarities to this forum, lots of interesting discussion divided into catagories (mountain biking, road bikes, commuting, touring, over 50,) mostly relevant to bicycles. (and God bless them, no political stuff!
) …but like here the site really has alot of personality. …I guess you can find a site or forum on almost anything you can think of; yo yos, paper folding… but if anyone has any favorite or interesting sites they’d like to share that’d be cool.
I like ccel.org librivox.org gutenberg.org and http://manybooks.net The latter is derived from the former, but is in formats for Palm Pilot and the like. I’d like to try one of those ereaders with “electronic paper.”
I would too! The idea of being able to carry around thousands of books in a reader seems great… But after a quick trip to the currency converter, I don’t think I’ll try that iLead reader. Ouch.
I like ccel.org and gutenberg. I also like the medieval sourcebook site, Fark and, of course, this one.
I almost forgot the Catholic Encyclopedia site is another one of my favorites.
