Alright, I just downloaded the Sherlock Holmes omnibus
Can I put in a request for "Tale of a Tub" by Jonathan Swift? I can make LRF files, but I feel kind of like a jerk doing so since I can't covert to anything else. |

One book I'd really like to have as an eBook is "The Intellectual Life" by Philip Gilbert Hamerton. 1895 I think. It has became a sort of classic and has been reprinted.

Any recomendations for the free downloads?
I'm a new forum member, so I appologise if I have missed the answer to my question in another thread.
I am somewhat overwhelmed by the sheer volume of free e-books available for download and I am looking for some recomendations as to what would be good for me to read. I will list the authors that I like at the end of this post, but I am interested to know if anyone has read books in the downloads that they would recomend to someone with my tastes. It's probably a big ask, I know. Also, is there some kind of book club where we pick a book (available from the free downloads), read it and then discuss it? That would be great. For the following authors, I have read all of their books. This should give a good indication of my likes. It may be that I should forget the free books and keep buying from the authors I like when the e-books are available: Terry Pratchett Tom Clancy Lee Child Douglas Adams Philip Pulman Thomas Harris Dan Brown Grant Naylor I have also read a few books from these authors: David Baldacci Stephen Coonts Michael Crichton Dale Brown Robert Harris Michael Connelly Robert Ludlum Stephen Coonts Ben Elton Any recomendations greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave. |

It sounds as though you like thrillers. Have a go at the first volume of my "H. Rider Haggard" anthology; I think you'll find him to be the equal of any modern thriller writer.
