I've been trying to get ready for our Christmas vacation and have been putting books onto my Kindle for reading on the drive and at times when I just can't take all the 'socializing' while at family's (lol yea, I'm an introvert by nature!). So I went to the Magic Catalog of Project Gutenberg E-books in search of free books to occupy my time.
Has anyone else seen this catalog?!? It is packed with every book that Gutenberg has archived into an e-book. I think it is absolutely fantastic! Some of the books I've downloaded from there are:
Anne of.. Books
A Life of Gen. Robert E Lee
Grass of Parnassus
The Lost World
The Book of the Cat
The Girl Aviators' Sky Cruise
The Battle of the Books and other Short Pieces
The Light Princess
The Land That Time Forgot
The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson
The Swiss Family Robinson
A Study in Scarlet
The Count of Monte Cristo
And that is just some of them. On my Kindle I have well over 150 books...and that doesn't count the ones in archive. I also have the complete works of Charlotte Mason (the six volume set). Of course books can be found for free from Amazon as well. Those are delivered wirelessly to my Kindle- no hassles :)
Recently from Amazon I downloaded:
CK-12 Chemistry
The Game
In the Reign of Terror
Sidelights on Relativity
The Power of Movement in Plants
The Future of Astronomy
History of Astronomy
Personal Memoirs of Gen. Grant- Vol. 1
CK-12 Geometry
Sorry that I did not include links to each of these books that I've posted (that would take a bit more of my time than I have at the moment!) but it is easy to search either Gutenberg or Amazon, or both for these titles.
Oh! And for those times when I just can't read another word- in a book that is- I also have the games Every Word, Shuffled Row, and recently Black Jack *I deleted this one- I'm not into the gambling bit*. All were free. I love free :)
I've never seen the Magic Catalog! What a treasure trove. Thanks for the heads-up, and traveling mercies for your Christmas visits!
