Ich lese zu wenig. 😶
Ein paar #Klassiker habe ich aber schon durch, und ein paar sollen da noch dazu kommen. Sowas wie #TreasureIsland, #MobyDick, #Frankenstein & Co.
Die Autoren dieser Werke sind schon lange tot, diese #Bücher sind gemeinfrei.
Man kann sie über das bekannte #ProjectGutenberg beziehen.
Gerade habe ich #StandardEbooks kennengelernt. Da sind viele Standardwerke direkt als hochwertige #epub aufbereitet. 👍

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Sci-Fi #Victober #ProjectGutenberg

Frederick Waddy, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons I'm reading through Anthony Trollope's six volumes of the Chronicles of Barsetshire - you can check the links to the ebooks in my last year's post here - and loving it, but for Victober I thought I would pick a more shorter, standalone book from the same author.

It’s Weekend, Let’s Read: Anthony Trollope’s Sci-Fi #Victober #ProjectGutenberg

Frederick Waddy, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons

I’m reading through Anthony Trollope’s six volumes of the Chronicles of Barsetshire – you can check the links to the ebooks in my last year’s post here – and loving it, but for Victober I thought I would pick a more shorter, standalone book from the same author.

I came across The Fixed Period, which he wrote later in life and is considered a satirical dystopian novel. And this is so different from what he usually wrote that I got really curious and decided to pick it up. I’m still in the introduction, but I thought I would share the link to Project Gutenberg, where you can download the book. (No luck in finding it in a physical format, so thank you even more to Gutenberg volunteers!).

Also, although a satirical dystopian work, you may want to check your trigger content warnings.

The Fixed Period – Anthony Trollope can be downloaded here.

Piffingcap by #AECoppard

Another tale with a quirky title, "Piffingcap" is about a barber and a magical shaving cup, or is it cursed. It depends upon your need. The barber finds himself wanting to lose the cup, find the cup, and then what is the price paid in this quest.
Coppard puts sly humour and observations on rural & small town life, as he builds from what could be a whimsical folktale, to one in which dire consequences arise from poorly thought out choices. Anyone up for a close shave with the supernatural?

Piffingcap can be found online at #ProjectGutenberg.

Harvard Classics: Volumes One through Ten

I am updating the Clippings page to include links to the Harvard Classic's volumes one through ten. I have also added a Classics page to provide the list in it's entirety... (Well, I am working on the "entirety" part.)
