I'm reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol. I must have read it hundreds of times when I was a kid. It was a favorite tome. It's odd to read those lines now as an adult and remember them in their muchness. It's like going from big to small and back again. It's all about as curious as it can be.

Check out also this page, with links to Oz, Tarzan, Tom Sawyer, and other fantastic texts.

Free, baby. http://gutenberg.org

More than you or I could ever hope to read. :)

Make sure you check out www.netlibrary.com too!

Re:

yeah! that's right!

[dorkgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh my, that list brings back memories of my five-year stint working in a university library. We always joked that the HQ books were "hetero and queer" books, and laughed the the religious books had call numbers starting with 'BS'. Okay, so we were easily amused, obviously!

Yeah, I pulled a long term at a library, too... lots of silly designations here, too.
