This week I've been thrilled discover Project Gutenberg. This project has put tens of thousands of out of print or copyright expired books on the net. Along with Google, this is one of the most ambitious efforts to preserve and provide easy access to knowledge. Check it out! I already downloaded the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, and a book called "The Social Emergency," which "warns boys against horrible effects of masturbation" by explaining how it diminishes virility.

This project is useful now, but unfortunately we have to wait another seventy years before classics, like Cherie Bennet's Sunset series, go out of copyright.
