FREE LITERATURE AND NEW YORK TIMES

Hello everyone,

Here are three links which may be helpful. The first is Project Gutenberg. It contains more than 20,000 free books online with links to more than a 100,000 others. They are all open source, and you can legally download them. For example, I accessed all of Robert Frost’s Poems. If you have a flash drive, you can save a whole library’s worth of books and have it swinging around your neck as you stroll across campus.

Then next link is for Internet Archive. It is similar to Project Gutenberg and contains a wealth of information, including around 200,000 books and documents. For example, I was able to download all of Hemingway’s short stories.

The last link is longgggggg…but it is the free registration for the New York Times. Once you register, you can have them send the day’s headlines and whole host of other goodies directly to you everyday. Or not. You choose.

The last thing: If you have a blog (which takes about 5 minutes to set up), you can post this wealth of info online to read. If you want to set up a blog, go to:

I'll be glad to help if anyone is interested.

Happy reading,
