??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????what is this the worst site i hv evr visited huh
People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.
Nice article.
Book sites such as WebLiterature.Net ( http://www.webliterature.net ) and Gutenberg.org ( http://www.gutenberg.org ) host these classic books for free reading, which is an additional bonus on reading classics. WebLiterature is my favorite corner.
And 1984 by George Orwell remains my favorite classic. Great to see you starting off with 1984.
