In my younger days I used to read a lot. But I hardly buy any of those books. I am taking about work of great writer like Loe Tolstoy, Joseph Conrad, Mark Twain, Robert Louis Stevenson, just to name a few.
But, I just come across an online free ebook site that have all those books. For those who love reading classic this site is a goldmine.

Ps. this is not a karaoke thread but reading a book fast make you a good karaoke singer..... The lyric on the monitor is not going to wait for you if you read slow.

LOL

War and Peace here I come

Thank you Jian for the classics link. The classics (I hate calling them that--it makes them sound so daunting and unentertaining in some people's minds, but that's the word we are stuck with) are certainly rewarding reading.  I could read Dickens from now until I tip over--such marvelous characterizations and his use of the English language has rarely been excelled. Any other Dickensians in this joint?

The David Lean version? That is a great movie! And EXCELLENT B&W photography.  Hard to pick my favorite..."A Tale of Two Cities" is undoubtedly his most exciting and "Oliver Twist" is his other page-turner but I've always held a soft spot for "Pickwick Papers"--one of his earliest works and the first of his books I ever read. They are all good.  Never could get into Victor Hugo though...I did find many of this books would contain historical references topical at the time that even today would be difficult to learn about.  Hugo had quite a bit of those--so it made for difficult reading I must admit.  Never could get through "Moby Dick" for the same reason--too, too many weird nautical terms.  I'm one to pick up the dictionary but that was driving me nuts!
