Free e-books. Quick quick!

The World Public Library is offering a whole bunch of ebooks free. I’m downloading the entire sci-fi collection to see if any are good. Unfortunately there’s no way to see if a book’s good except if you read it, so I’m going to have to go through the many megabytes till I comment. I’ll also get some of the classics. Really, there’s no way I can download all 10,000 of those!

  2. Of 10,000 books?! You’re mad!

    Besides, weren’t you the person who swore off book reviews because ‘they always give away the plot’.

  3. Well of whatever books seem interesting, of course.

    And yes, I don’t like book reviews. I stop reading them after the first few lines.

  4. But then what’s the point of the book review?

  5. The first few lines are enough to describe a book. Any review needs only a few lines.
