A bunch of those are already in the public domain, so there's no reason to pay for the bundled ones. I only found four of the free ones which aren't also on Project Gutenberg.
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

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."

I grabbed a bunch off Gutenberg, but I didn't keep them. The early stuff is very pulp, and I find I don't have a taste for the tropes, not even from a Grand Master.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anyone got any recs for good steampunk for my BFF, who has apparently just discovered it?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Zen, I quite enjoyed Scott Westerfeld's "Leviathan" trilogy. It's an AU take on WWI, with one side deploying what are essentially giant robots, and the other side using biologically engineered zeppelins and the like. Much, much fun. It also (in the last book anyhow) involves Nikola Tesla, who is something of a favorite in steampunkish RPF.

Thanks, Anne! That sounds like a good place to start.

What a surprise.
That is: not at all.
