MadmaxandradeE tudo indica que a continuação seguirá o mesmo caminho.
As each sequence of this film was shot separately, new cast members were added and incorporated in the stories throughout the production. In many cases separate footage was composited in post-production to look as if it were all shot the same day.
Sin City (2005)
MadmaxandradeDisse no Twitter e repito aqui: a Capcom devia fazer as pazes com o Inafune e lançar esse projeto como Mega Man 11.
Looks like Megaman fans are finally getting their game. Except it's not called Megaman anymore.
I'm not even bothering in tagging this comic as "Mighty 9". Just "Megaman" will do.
Personally, I think I'd at least make him green. As he is right now it just too close to the original source to avoid a lawsuit. Really, he even have a robot sister.
Small critics aside, the game was funded in 24 hours so I guess the fans really wanted it. Not bad for a game which Capcom just keeps in the shelf.
MadmaxandradeA escolha foi tão acertada que não deixa muito a comentar.
What if you casted a movie role and no one cared? That is almost the response from fans and industry folk alike. The news of James Spader being picked to play the Avengers 2 big baddy Ultron has been met with mild approval and some people preparing to defend a choice that is getting very little negative response.
Spader’s choice does negate the prevailing thought on the web that Ultron was going to be an extension of Jarvis and played by Paul Bettany. So unless in the Marvel Universe when computers turn evil they become less British, Ultron’s origins still remain a mystery.
Some of the reaction to Spader’s casting includes this awesome pic from Midtown Comics:

Most were supportive:
James Spader as Ultron. Now THAT is how you do casting. #AgeOfUltron
— Arune Singh, Eh? (@arune) August 29, 2013
It seems as though you guys dig the James Spader as Ultron news for #AgeofUltron. :) Trust us, not rumors, for this kinda news.

I’m psyched for Spader’s Ultron. He’ll bring the scary. #Avengers.

Some were ready to fight:
Anyone dissing James Spader today needs to step away from the computer and rewatch his sexy ass in #Stargate pronto.

And from one villain to the next:
Go on, James Spader. Go get ‘em. @Avengers #AgeOfUltron
— Tom Hiddleston (@twhiddleston) August 29, 2013
Overall most decided to go with humor:
Remember when James Spader was forcing RDJ to blow him for coke in Less Than Zero? So does @josswhedon I guess.

Though Cameron Stewart had a hard time coming up with anything for the casting news:
Years ago when I worked in a comic shop an Irish guy came in and asked for “Spader-Man” comics. “You know, Peter Parker, Spader-Man” #true
— Cameron Stewart (@cameronMstewart) August 29, 2013
That’s the only Spader thing I can think of
— Cameron Stewart (@cameronMstewart) August 29, 2013
Perhaps the Affleck/Batman and Twilight Lobo stories sucked all the anger out of the fans… but there just wasn’t any nerd-rage for the announcement. It was expected and feared… but it never happened. Like a hurricane that never hit the coast line, Ultron was cast and everyone was okay with it.
There has been no official comment from Richard Dreyfuss as of yet.

MadmaxandradeLi isso e lembrei daquela história do Sandman em que o sonho de mil gatos poderia alterar a realidade. O duro é convencer mil gatos a fazerem qualquer coisa ao mesmo tempo...
Se eu tivesse talento com as palavras, escreveria um conto com o argumento a seguir.
Todo mundo conhece algum torcedor de algum clube de futebol que tem algum tipo de superstição, seja ela usar a mesma camisa durante os jogos, seja assistir os jogos sempre com as mesmas companhias ou seja roer apenas as unhas dos dedões dos pés durante as partidas.
Num exercício de realismo fantástico, imaginei um time de futebol cujos resultados dos jogos realmente dependessem das mandingas dos torcedores. Mas não de um torcedor apenas: de todos eles. Para que o time jogue bem (ou, vá lá, vença seus jogos), fulano deve usar a mesma camisa de sempre, beltrano deve assistir os jogos sempre com as mesmas companhias e cicrano deve roer apenas as unhas dos dedões dos pés.
A história giraria em torno de um torcedor específico deste clube, que ao perceber estes padrões, precisa dar um jeito de descobrir como fazer com que todos os outros torcedores acreditem nele e façam o que sempre fizeram nas vezes em que o time venceu. Deste modo, seria permitido ao clube vencer o campeonato que disputa atualmente.
Talvez a odisseia não funcionasse com times de massa, de milhões de torcedores, como qualquer um dos que disputam os torneios da CBF. Mas se a escala fosse diminuída para um time pequeno de várzea, esta poderia ser uma tarefa verossímil.

Today’s guest post is by esteemed urban fantasy slash crime writer, Stephen Blackmoore, who wrote the whip-cracking Dead Things last year (one of my favorites), and who will actually be carrying the Gods & Monsters mantled, continuing the series put forth in my own Gods & Monsters: Unclean Spirits. Stephen is here today — well, he’s here because he has incriminating photos and this is what it takes. SHUT UP DON’T JUDGE ME.
Back in the Seventies musician Brian Eno and artist Peter Schmidt came up with this thing called Oblique Strategies that was designed to help artists when they get blocked. It was a deck of cards containing a phrase or a word on each designed to help inspire the user to look at a problem in a slightly different way. Feeling stuck? Grab a card. See what it does for you. Maybe it does nothing. Maybe it unlocks the whole problem. If it doesn’t work, grab another. The point is that it give you something to help guide your problem solving.
The cards themselves are hard to come by these days, but you can see what was on them over at this site, which has an ever increasing list of these little phrases. Cryptic ones like “Honour thy error as a hidden intention” and “Use an old idea”. Things that you might need to unpack a little to really get a feel for what they’re trying to say.
Most times Oblique Strategies is a little too oblique for me. “Disconnect From Desire” or “Cascades” has never really done much for me. Possibly because the deck is really aimed at musicians. Or, more likely, I just need something a little more concrete because I’m an idiot.
What has worked, though, has been reminders. Things I always try to remember, but inevitably forget when I get stuck. Sometimes it’s a couple of words. Sometimes it’s a whole sentence. It’s still reads like bumper sticker advice, but the important thing is context. I know what I mean by them.
I started compiling these little phrases a while ago and I’m up to 15 at the moment. It’s a handy cheat sheet of my blind spots. At least the ones I know about. And remembering them helps me move forward when I get stuck.
So, here are my own oblique strategies. I’ve added context so you know where my brain is when I look at them, but this isn’t advice. This is just what works for me and has to do with my particular weaknesses. Maybe they’ll help you, maybe they won’t.
***Sometimes you just gotta do it.
Couple years ago Matt Stone and Trey Parker talked to a bunch of NYU and made an excellent point. “And” is fucking boring. This happens AND this happens AND this happens. Instead, try This happens, BUT this other thing gets in the way, THEREFORE these are the consequences. Easy to forget.
Shit needs to happen between the plot points.
Fucking over a character is fine. Having them fuck themselves is better.
Words, sentences, scenes, chapters, characters, punctuation. Everything is on equal footing. If it’s in the way out it goes.
I get caught up in the shape of the story rather than all of the moving parts a lot.
And on the other hand, there are times where I get too caught up in the details.
Read this. It’s educational. It’s a story about scheduling issues for The Thing that allowed John Carpenter to pull together a rough cut of the film between studio and location shooting. It didn’t work. Lots of problems. No one character driving the story, overly-bloated scenes. But the one thing that stuck with me was this. “He said the movie came to life for the first time during The Kennel, then lapsed into passivity until the next effects scene which was then the Norris transformation. And for a film that was trying to lay down its’ marker as a state of the art monster movie that, I remember John saying, was “a long time between monsters”"
A plot point, a character, somebody’s car, the whole fucking book. Also occasionally good life advice.
If I’m stuck, it’s usually because I took a wrong turn somewhere and need to backtrack.
And sometimes I just need to remind myself where I’m going.
I hide shit I can use all the time. A long lost cousin, a dead hobo, a treasure map. But I can’t shoot the rifle on the wall if I don’t remember I put it there.
I can spend HOURS on scenes that turn into “He left.”
I don’t want my characters to be too stupid. Kind of stupid, because we’re all kind of stupid, but not so stupid that they won’t call the cops, or that they’ll go into the basement alone.
But if they are going into the basement alone, they better have a fucking good reason to do it.
How about you? Got any of your own?
MadmaxandradeMinha vida quando estou escrevendo - e, imagino, a de todo escritor.
Here is what goes through my head when I edit:
Who wrote this drivel?
Shit, it was me. It was me.
This thing reads like a fucking VCR repair manual. Is this even English? It’s got all the grace and elegance of a drunk girl puking in a potted plant at a frat party. It’s got all the speed and potency of an old man with a colostomy bag rolling clumsily down a shallow hill. It’s ugly like the winking sphincter of a sick giraffe. IT’S TURDS THE WHOLE THING IS TURDS AAAAAAGH FIRST DRAFT? MORE LIKE WORST DRAFT AM I RIGHT OR AM I RIGHT
I DUNNO IF I’M RIGHT
I DUNNO ANYTHING
WHO AM I WHAT IS MY VOICE WHAT IS THIS PIECE OF MONKEY DICK I WROTE
AGH AGH AGH AGH
*ten minutes of sobbing*
Okay. No. It’s cool. This is where the magic happens. The first draft is just me dumping all the puzzle pieces out. But it’s still a jumbled image. This part is where the art lives. This is when the story is smashed together, piece after piece. I can make it all make sense! I can polish this turd to a burnished, blinding sheen so bright it will blind the very heavens!
Thank all the gods and all the devils for good editors.
These notes are great.
Though they remind me how terribly inadequate I am.
But that’s fine. I’ve got a shaky flashlight. I can see the way forward.
Okay, see, yeah, all right, this part’s pretty good. And I thought it was terrible when I wrote it. Sweet. Nice. Yes. Gold star. Trophy. Triumph. Except, this other part I thought was awesome – that I need to be awesome — is clunky. Kludgey. I’m reading it and it feels like I’m chewing a piece of dry bread and cheese — it’s a hard slog and I can’t swallow it oh my god the reviews when this book comes out are going to murder my soul.
*shallow breathing*
Breathe in. Breathe out.
It’s all just pieces. Start big. Go little.
Every component just needs some attention. That’s easy. Take a wrench to this one. A hammer to that one. We fix things by breaking them. This is surgery.
Sometimes you stitch. Sometimes you chop off a limb.
Nice. Yes. Things are looking better.
I’m feeling good.
Moving along at a nice clip, now
OH HOLY FUCKMITTENS A GIANT PLOT HOLE
*falls into it*
*breaks narrative ankle*
*spasms*
crap crap crap crap
This thing’s like a Sarlacc pit — a suppurating desert canker. You could lose a whole Rancor Monster in this thing. It doesn’t make sense. Where’s the logic? What was I thinking? Was I high when I wrote this? Did someone else write this? IS THIS A PRANK BY A TIME-TRAVELER? This doesn’t feel right. The character wouldn’t act this way. This doesn’t feel authentic to the time or the place or the scene or my writing or to ANY AND ALL OF REALITY shit shit shit poop crap fuck balls cocktaco jizzwich shimmering blumpy nuggets AAAAAAAAA
*takes 15 minutes to commune with the sparkly collective intelligence called ‘Twitter’*
*trades witty banter with other procrastinating writers*
*improves mood by four micrometers*
Oh! Oh my gosh. Look. If I just rewrite this one tiny paragraph, add a couple hundred words, it ties everything together! Ha ha ha! It’s like a little knot! Like I’m tying a shoe! That’s all, a quick loop and lace and here we are, all fixed, all tidy, we can start to run again and –
GODDAMNIT this thing is so delicate, so sensitive — I moved once piece and now ten other parts don’t make sense. I removed one little widget, one tiny flywheel and now the watch doesn’t tell the right time in fact it’s not telling time at all but instead broadcasting HONEY BOO-BOO in Portuguese by the love of sweet saint fuck aaaaaagh
*starts kicking holes in manuscript*
*takes an axe and starts chopping out whole paragraphs, chapters, characters*
*guzzles vodka and Red Bull*
*plays Xbox for a while*
*takes an angry nap*
*hastily rewrites destroyed sections*
These characters are stupid –
This plot is transparently bad –
I HATE THIS BOOK WITH THE BURNING STENCH OF A GARBAGE FIRE
I am inadequate as an author
Possibly as a human being
Nobody should let me near words again
BECAUSE I’M MESSING THEM ALL UP
theme what’s theme mood THERE IS NO MOOD this isn’t a story arc so much as it’s just a dead clown in the desert whose innards have been eaten by coyotes and whose gassy carcass is now the home of slumbering lizards everything is soggy and deflated and the tension is blown out like a nail-popped wheelbarrow tire and everything is falling out into the mud and the slurry
gazza booza fuzza wuzza
bbbbbbbbbbt
oh god help
hold up
what’s this now
hey wait
this section is pretty good
that section’s not bad either
man I kinda love this character
editing is rewriting is rewriting is rewriting
it’s better now than it was
that’s a good sign right?
DEAR UNHOLY DEMONS, IT’S IMPROVING
maybe it doesn’t suck as bad
maybe it doesn’t suck at all
woo!
I’m doing it!
I’m editing it!
I’m turning a piece of lead into — well, not gold, exactly, but at least a reasonable facsimile of something that isn’t terrible! It’s amateur hour alchemy, motherfucker! it sucks less! I suck less! everything sucks less! I HAVE SUCKED THE SUCKITY SUCK FROM THIS SUCKY SUCKFEST
THAT’S ONE CHAPTER DOWN
SIXTY MORE TO GO

MadmaxandradeOK, a curiosidade do final foi de limpar os pedaços de cérebro do teto.
What if a spacecraft slowed down on re-entry to just a few miles per hour using rocket boosters like the Mars-sky-crane? Would it negate the need for a heat shield?
—Brian
Is it possible for a spacecraft to control its reentry in such a way that it avoids the atmospheric compression and thus would not require the expensive (and relatively fragile) heat shield on the outside?
—Christopher Mallow
Could a (small) rocket (with payload) be lifted to a high point in the atmosphere where it would only need a small rocket to get to escape velocity?
—Kenny Van de Maele
The answers to these questions all hinge on the same idea. It's an idea I've touched on in other articles, but today I want to focus on it specifically:
The reason it's hard to get to orbit isn't that space is high up.
It's hard to get to orbit because you have to go so fast.
Space isn't like this:
Space is like this:
Space is about 100 kilometers away. That's far away—I wouldn't want to climb a ladder to get there—but it isn't that far away. If you're in Sacramento, Seattle, Canberra, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Phnom Penh, Cairo, Beijing, central Japan, central Sri Lanka, or Portland, space is closer than the sea.
Getting to space[1]Specifically, low Earth orbit, which is where the International Space Station is and where the shuttles could go. is easy. It's not, like, something you could do in your car, but it's not a huge challenge. You could get a person to space with a small sounding rocket the size of a telephone pole. The X-15 aircraft reached space[2]The X-15 reached 100 km on two occasions, both when flown by Joe Walker. just by going fast and then steering up.[3]Make sure to remember to steer up and not down, or you will have a bad time.
But getting to space is easy. The problem is staying there.
Gravity in low Earth orbit is almost as strong as gravity on the surface. The Space Station hasn't escaped Earth's gravity at all; it's experiencing about 90% the pull that we feel on the surface.
To avoid falling back into the atmosphere, you have to go sideways really, really fast.
The speed you need to stay in orbit is about 8 kilometers per second.[4]It's a little less if you're in the higher region of low Earth orbit. Only a fraction of a rocket's energy is used to lift up out of the atmosphere; the vast majority of it is used to gain orbital (sideways) speed.
This leads us to the central problem of getting into orbit: Reaching orbital speed takes much more fuel than reaching orbital height. Getting a ship up to 8 km/s takes a lot of booster rockets. Reaching orbital speed is hard enough; reaching to orbital speed while carrying enough fuel to slow back down would be completely impractical.[5]This exponential increase is the central problem of rocketry: The fuel required to increase your speed by one km/s multiplies your weight by about 1.4. To get into orbit, you need to increase your speed to 8 km/s, which means you'll need a lot of fuel: $ 1.4\times1.4\times1.4\times1.4\times1.4\times1.4\times1.4\times1.4\approx 15$ times the original weight of your ship.
Using a rocket to slow down carries the same problem: Every 1 km/s decrease in speed multiplies your starting mass by that same factor of 1.4. If you want to slow all the way down to zero—and drop gently into the atmosphere—the fuel requirements multiply your weight by 15 again.
These outrageous fuel requirements are why every spacecraft entering an atmosphere has braked using a heat shield instead of rockets—slamming into the air is the most practical way to slow down. (And to answer Brian's question, the Curiosity rover was no exception to this; although it used small rockets to hover when it was near the surface, it first used air-braking to shed the majority of its speed.)
How fast is 8 km/s, anyway?
I think the reason for a lot of confusion about these issues is that when astronauts are in orbit, it doesn't seem like they're moving that fast; they look like they're drifting slowly over a blue marble.
But 8 km/s is blisteringly fast. When you look at the sky near sunset, you can sometimes see the ISS go past ... and then, 90 minutes later, see it go past again.[6]There are some good apps and online tools to help you spot the station, along with other neat satellites. My favorite is ISS Detector, but if you Google you can find lots of others. In those 90 minutes, it's circled the entire world.
The ISS moves so quickly that if you fired a rifle bullet from one end of a football field,[7]Either kind. the International Space Station could cross the length of the field before the bullet traveled 10 yards.[8]This type of play is legal in Australian rules football.
Let's imagine what it would look like if you were speed-walking across the Earth's surface at 8 km/s.
To get a better sense of the pace at which you're traveling, let's use the beat of a song to mark the passage of time.[9]Using song beats to help measure the passage of time is a technique also used in CPR training, where the song "Stayin' Alive" is used to . suppose you started playing the 1988 song by The Proclaimers, I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles). That song is about 131.9 beats per minute, so imagine that with every beat of the song, you move forward more than two miles.
In the time it took to sing the first line of the chorus, you could walk from the Statue of Liberty all the way to the Bronx:
It would take you about two lines of the chorus (16 beats of the song) to cross the English Channel between London and France.
The song's length leads to an odd coincidence. The interval between the start and the end of I'm Gonna Be is 3 minutes and 30 seconds,[10]Based on timing from the official Youtube video and the ISS is moving is 7.66 km/s.
This means that if an astronaut on the ISS listens to I'm Gonna Be, in the time between the first beat of the song and the final lines ...
... they will have traveled just about exactly 1,000 miles.
MadmaxandradeOu "menos metrópoles distópicas e fuzileiros espaciais, por favor".
Summer is a great time to take a vacation, but I like to travel to exotic locations in video games. Here is a list of locales I'd love to visit in the digital world.
Admittedly, some of these locations have probably been featured before (as much as I try, I still haven't been able to play every game ever made). Still, these scenic points are highly underutilized and I'd love to see them featured in games more often.
Tenochtitlan
The Aztecs were a dark and mysterious people. This highly artistic culture was more advanced than we give it credit for. They had an advanced system for writing and keeping records, strange burial customs, and would often sell their own children into slavery. Not to mention their brutal human sacrifice rituals. A setting this dangerous and seedy is begging to be explored in a brutal action game.
Ireland
This might sound like an odd choice, but Ireland could be the perfect setting for a survival horror game (just check out the picture up top). Irish lore features some of the darkest and creepiest myths I've ever read: Halloween was derived from the Irish festival of Samhain, and Dracula may have been inspired by the Irish legend of Abhartach. Irish legends are filled with tales of magic and creepy forest creatures ripe for exploring.
Gangs Of New York-era New York
New York isn't new to the video game stage, but early, undeveloped New York is. Sure, Martin Scorsese's Oscar Nominated Gangs of New York was somewhat fictionalized, but that doesn't stop it from being a vibrant setting ripe for a video game. Imagine a New York set just before the Civil War, in a time when the laws were loose, and sword-slinging gangs ruled the streets. Imagine a New York where thousands of foreigners (many of whom didn't speak English) were crammed into a few blocks of New York slums. Now imagine GTA set in that version of Liberty City. (I'd also accept '80s New York.)
Madagascar
Forget about that silly Ben Stiller flick; if you want an alien landscape, check out Madagascar. This south African "island" is about the size of Texas and 70 percent of its animal species as well as 90 percent of its fauna are found nowhere else in the world. Take Far Cry 3's open-world gameplay and throw it into Madagascar for an interesting twist. Add some sci-fi elements or a some magical gnomes if you're feeling really spicy.
The Moon
Have you ever seen Duncan Jones' sci-fi thriller, Moon? If you have, then you know that a story-based murder mystery set in a lonely way station located on Earth's satellite would be killer. Explore a once high tech, but now largely outdated space station, leap to ridiculous heights thanks to the moon's low gravity, and brave the extremes of the lunar atmosphere. What will you do when the station's life support systems begin to fail?
Those are my ideas for some great video game locals. What setting would you pick for a game if you had the power?

Many people are turning from traditional paper-based books to e-readers these days, and though the demand for printed books might be lessening somewhat, folks are certainly not reading any less! If anything, the ability to download e-books has made it easier for many people to feed their voracious reading habits.
Note: regardless of whether you’re reading e-books on a Kindle, Kobo, Nook, tablet, or even a laptop, you should get a copy of Calibre E-book Management software (a free download): it helps to manage and file all of your e-books, and can convert files to the format that your particular device needs to display everything properly.
Many libraries around the world are now loaning e-books as well as printed copies, so look up your area’s local library website to see if they offer this service.
When you go to Amazon.com (or any of its international sites), click on the Kindle tab, go to e-books, and then search for the word “free”. Just keep in mind that e-books downloaded from Amazon cannot be read on a competitor’s e-reader, so Nooks and Kobos are incompatible. You can, however, read Kindle e-books on your computer, smartphone, tablet, iPad, or any other device; you just need the Kindle App in order to do so.
This site has thousands of titles to choose from in just about any genre imaginable, and if you don’t mind wading through some truly horrendous book cover design, you can find some real treasures. Most of their books are by independent, self-published authors, and they also have titles in Hindi, Tamil, and Marathi.
Daily free e-books are the main feature on this site, and there are some spectacular titles to choose from, including a large number of children’s books and young adult novels. The format is specific to Kindle though, so unless you have a conversion program, you might be out of luck if you’re using a different e-reader.
The website might not be terribly impressive or polished, but they have an extensive selection of books ranging from reference materials to fiction novels. You can find some absolute gems on this site, but be aware that you may come across some broken links on occasion: please report them if and when you do.
If you’re in need of something new to read but aren’t quite sure what you’d like, you can go through the most popular titles and recommendations on this site and read reviews from those who have stopped by before you: maybe you’ll find something brilliant to delve into. There are over 21,000 titles on this site, and they can be downloaded for iPods, PDAs, and e-book readers.
Baen, a free e-book library specifically for sci-fi/fantasy novels, is unique in that all of the books that are available there have been uploaded (or approved for upload) by authors themselves. This is done in the hope that if people enjoy the work they’ve read for free, they will either contribute what they can, or buy print versions of the books.
This site requires you to create an account in order to access their library, but registration is free, and you then have the ability to download as many e-books, magazines, and academic papers as you like. Be forewarned that the vast majority of books on there are self-published, so although you may find the occasional well-written novel on the site, there’s also a lot of dross to sort through.
If you’re looking for e-books on computer languages, web design/programming, or any number of specific programs, this is one of the best places for free resources that you can find online.
A great venue for self-published authors, Scribd gives people the opportunity to upload their own work, and download books by other authors. There’s a small catch: not all the books are free. You can read free excerpts of some novels and then purchase them in their entirety for a nominal fee, but rest assured that there are many spectacular titles available for no charge whatsoever.
This is the place you want to visit if you’re in love with classics. Works by Arthur Conan Doyle, the Brontë sisters, Jane Austen, Tolstoy, and Victor Hugo are just a few of the fabulous reads you can download free of charge here.
A great site with a wide array of read-ables, Daily Free E-books will also send you free reading materials in your genre(s) of choice. It also provides you with an app that can convert the Kindle format to suit whichever device you’re using.
The majority of books on this site are in the sci-fi/fantasy and romance genres, but there are little gems to be found in the other sections as well. Young adult readers may find some unique stories to dive into, and there are a few hundred mystery and horror novels to plough through too.
This site deals specifically with older books such as classic novels and reference materials, and are free in the United States because their copyright has expired. Gutenberg has over 42,000 free e-books available, so even the most voracious reader will have plenty of material to chew through.
Over 400,000 titles reside on the Booksie website, and all can be downloaded for free. They’re all self-published books, so be aware that the content will vary as far as quality is concerned. They do have a large selection of decent children’s books available, so your literary little ones will have plenty of content to enjoy.
For U.S. readers who use the Nook for their e-books, Barnes and Noble has an extensive collection of free materials to download. Now, by “extensive collection” I mean nearly 2 million titles, so you can go hog wild on this site if you’re up for it.
Hundreds of free e-books are available on this site, with subjects ranging from African-American studies to Zoroastrianism. Take your pick and download away.
I don’t know how legit this site is, but there are thousands of popular books by well-known authors available for free, and you can either read the texts right on the site, or download them in formats such as PDF, Epub, RTF, and more.
Consider this “Project Gutenberg”, but for the younger crowd: all the classic books on this site are geared towards the 12-and-under crowd, with titles ranging from Aesop’s fables to faerie tales, mythology, history, and spiritual stories.
Last, but certainly not least, Google Books allows you to search for the title, genre, author, or keyword that you’re most interested in so you can delve into bookish glee without having to shell out any cash.
If you have an Amazon Kindle, then you’ve probably already discovered that the site has a pretty nice library of free books available for download. : Finding Free Books For Your Amazon Kindle
