My new Ebook and old fiction.

[Paul Markham]

Before we went on holiday I decided to get an Ebook, to have a few stories to read when it was too hot to go out.

Bought a Prestigio, the shop selling Kindle was closed and I thought, wrongly, any Ebook could download Kindle books. It came with some free stories, Alice In Wonderland, Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle, Jules Verne, etc.

Got to read them a little before I bothered to download more moder stuff and found them so good, I don't think I'll be reading much else for a long time. Just well written, gripping and not like the pulp fiction of today.

If you get a chance, try them. Found Dickens a bit over descriptive, but going to give him another bash soon. Same goes for Shakespeare.

Off to read The Hound of the Baskervilles.

Gripping stuff. LOL

I think he's just happy to still be able to make out words and sentences as he faces his rapidly advancing delirium. At least he wants others to believe that's the case.

Thank you.

Takes a better knowledge of English than most here think. They often use lots of long words. So not for them.

I tried to read Aesop's Fables to my 9 years old, was continually explaining what words meant. But she likes them.

Good one about the Wolf and the Lamb.

The Wolf and the Lamb

WOLF, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea to justify to the Lamb the Wolf's right to eat him. He thus addressed him: "Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture." "No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother's milk is both food and drink to me." Upon which the Wolf seized him and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won't remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."

Moral - The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.

Put me in mind of people like Gideon. Change Tyrant and Tyranny for Pirate and Piracy.

There are some very cool eBooks published under Project Gutenberg. I've downloaded Grimms Fairy Stories, Aesop, and others to read to the kids. Reading on the iPad, there's the added benefit of being able to read to the kids in the dark!

You cared enough to open the thread and post.

So you don't ignore me. Thanks for the bump, again.

Throughout the great pattern of things you secure an A+ just for effort. Where you actually lost us ended up being in your particulars. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And it couldn?t be much more true at this point. Having said that, permit me tell you what did work. The authoring is definitely pretty convincing and that is most likely why I am making an effort in order to comment. I do not make it a regular habit of doing that. Secondly, despite the fact that I can easily notice the leaps in logic you come up with, I am definitely not convinced of just how you seem to connect your details which inturn help to make the final result. For the moment I will yield to your position however wish in the near future you connect your facts better.???? http://www.yescustom.com ? Custom T shirts etc.

That is a bit harsh. I am not aware that they ever said anything bad about your work.
