OT: Add 10,000 Free Books to Your Home Library!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Why worry about Y2k when a huge free library of great reading can be accessed at your fingertips?

Visit http://www.cs.cmu.edu/books.html and explore over 10,000 books that are archived online. Increase your home library by over 10,000 volumes in one keyboard stroke!

If you download the titles or authors page, leave your computer and go spend time with a real book. It takes time to download all the titles, but the wait is well worth it. Then you may bookmark it to your Favorites, and voila! A dense library at the ready!

Further good news: after Microsoft releases its "Reader" software later this year, reading online will be as easy on the eyes as reading paper.

Here's hoping you find this astounding internet resource valuable. Happy new year, and happy reading.

Kewl. Thanks, Celia.

Did your article about the WTO events in Seattle ever get published? It was very good.

So AWESOME!

This made my day - I was looking for Emerson's essay on Self-Reliance for a post I want to do on the Prep Forum. Available through this URL, natch.

What a fantastic resource for us home-schoolers too. In fact, I'm going to post this URL to the Prep Forum.

Thanks!

The url looks like this is a Carnegie Mellon University site. Any ideas what else they have available or how to access it?
