We're getting ebooks back at work* and i was sent to Project Gutenberg because people think I read classical literature a lot, and so would know what authors to look for.  (I have explained that about 90% is my classical literature knowledge is adaptations...)  I mentioned that people should mention anything that they could think of that might be in the public domain that they wanted to read, because I'd end up mostly providing 19th century feminist literature that I've been meaning to read for a while.  The response was "probably no one but college professors wants to read that."

The first requests were for Jane Austen and Wuthering Heights.  Actually, of the 3 people who have asked if i could find something, all asked for Austen.  (And then L.J. Smith, J.R.R. Tolkein, and C.S. Lewis.)

Make of it what you will.

Also, Theraflu is possibly the most vile tasting medicine ever.  But it works.

ETA:  Oh!  And the Friends of the Library Booksale is this weekend!  YAY!  Not that I need it.


*Yes, this means the Twilight books are back.  I am about 1/3 through the first and there will be a sparklepire post as soon as I manage to articulate something beyond "OMG NOTHING IS HAPPENING WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING SAVE ME!"
