That's awesome! Wow, I can think of a dozen free books I'd like through Gutenberg, too.
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Because books.
Okay, that is COOL. I'm already done and have four books!
This has been an I Love Technology day, man. Thanks again, flea.

Somehow it hadn't occurred to me that all of E. Nesbit would be in the public domain. Also, I see that all of poor H. Beam Piper is available. He wasn't around to renew the copyright, and I suppose he had no heirs.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nook! Nook!
Wahhhh.... I too have the apps for my everything--PC, Mac, phone, tablet, but reading on the Nook is the best experience.. Points to them.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Also, I see that all of poor H. Beam Piper is available.
Awww, I'm pretty sure I'm the only other person here who knows that name, though DXM might.

Piffle, David! I read tons of Piper when I was younger.
And he's getting some new attention, because Little Fuzzy got rebooted by John Scalzi this year. Paid for fanfiction!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I read a bunch of Piper ages ago. And I remember some of it, which is the more surprising part for me.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I'm a fan. I think I've read the full catalog, but it was quite a while ago.
Just finished John Scalzi's Fuzzy Nation, not sure what I think of it. We'll see how it holds up to re-reading.
Fuzzy Bones, by William Tuning, I liked a lot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I sit corrected. I should never have doubted the depth of our science fiction nerdlydom, O Buffistae.
