Vanity - Amazing Website for Literary Freepers!

Bartleby Books ^

[KantianBurke]

I stumbled across this site recently and suffice to say, next to FR, its incredible. They've got almost every important Western author and poet that I can think of. The Bible? Its there! Shakespeare's complete works? Its there! And it all FREE!

Who ever said the Internet was just porno and right wing nuts?? ;>

[Lexington Green]

Nice... do you know www.abebooks.com ? Great place for finding old/used/out-of-print books

[Yankee]

Who ever said the Internet was just porno and right wing nuts?? ;>

There are right wing nuts too?

I thought it was just porn.

BTW--what does "literary" mean?

I agree, Bartleby's is a true treasure trove.

Great find! Bookmarked for future use; thanks for sharing.

[TomGuy]

Project Gutenberg also has thousands of Titles (in the public domain) in "text" format.

That site rocks!! The whole Harvard Classics online- kewl.

[DoughtyOne]

I was going to suggest the Gutenberg Site. Excellent resource and is expanding all the time.

[headsonpikes]

Thanks. Bookmarked!

[KantianBurke]

The text can be a bit of a hassle. The "Bart" site has them already displayed on the page which is nice. Ur site's selection is impressive too though. Thanks for its introduction! :>

They've got the Decameron online....

[vladog]

Good post. Actually the DU most times just refers to Freepers as wingnuts.

[Fiddlstix]

BTTT

[vikingchick]

Thanks. Bookmarked.

[Old Student]

I thought that "wingnut" was reserved for Naval Aviation types?

a Zoomie.

[vikingchick]

Echo....hehe.

What, no porno? And you call it literature?

[SoDak]

Very Nice...thanks.

Okay, okay, I must have missed JimRobs directive that sarcasm, irony, pathos and self-depricating humor were no longer acceptable here on FR. I hereby stipulate for the record that I knew the meaning of literary and have even been known to pore over the occasional tome.

Henceforth I shall employ humor, to quote the Raven, "Nevermore".

If you buy that one, I have some choice oceanfront property in Wyoming for sale.

Thanks, but all the same, I prefer my books and documents medium-rare.

With a Caesar salad on the side.

All kidding aside, thanks. Bookmarked!

[Fred25]

THIS ONE’S GOOD TOO

Thanks for the tip! Found in two seconds a book that I had been trying to get from Amazon for months!

Yeah, that durned Amazon doesn't have a porn section. J/K!

[KantianBurke]

LOL. Ur not looking hard enough!!

[vladog]

I did not know that. And they say you can`t learn anything on the Net. I know what a Zoomie is though I was in the USAF.

[vladog]

Yes it does!!

[philomath]

Thanks for the good find.

[BlueHorseShoe]

Here is a link to the major databases for used and rare books: Major Booksearch Databases

[Revolting cat!]

Its there!

What about an English grammar handbook? Its there or it's there? (Bookmarked anyway.)

It is a great site. It not only has the "Five Foot Shelf" of Harvard Classics, but over two dozen reference books, Oxford Anthologies of Poetry, collections of quotations, the inaugural addresses of the presidents, the books Theodore Roosevelt wrote, and much else besides.

If you like Project Avalon's collection of historical documents, make sure you check out The Liberty Library of Constitutional Classics, The Founders' Constitution, The Making of America, OKU Historical Documents, LOC Searchable Historical Documents, and A Century of Lawmaking. Not light reading, but useful if you ever get in an argument about government or history. American history fans may also find some surprises at The Atlantic Magazine's archives, if they look around a little.

[pollyshy]

Thanks for starting this thread.

Another great resource courtesy of FR!

[Yankee]

Yes it does!!

I was only joking. I have no interest in obtaining porn over the internet from Amazon or anyone else.

I prefer to go to the local adult bookstore, and swap stories and lies with the other perverts.

Only Joking.

See, I'm learning to attach bold alerts for the more literalistic FReepers.

[Standing Wolf]

I normally just read the pictures, but thanks, eh?

[Cleburne]

There are people who read that word stuff on the side? Some of my books have words all te way across some of the pages! Wow...

[riley1992]

For you and your kids.

[SCalGal]

Cool! Thanks!

3) Versed in or fond of literature or learning.

I have know lit·er·ar·y people, who couldn't learn their times table.

Gore (clinto) voters all.

[PoisedWoman]

Outstanding. Someone posts Bartlesby's link about once a year, and it's always welcome.

[vladog]

I was only trying to helpful. I`m sorry.

[Yankee]

No apology necessary.

Now where was I....Oh yeah....www.amazon.com/porn/collections/debbiedoeseverywhere-volsI-IX
