Pschdoc, I too reacted with a stunned... WWHHAAA??? When I read the comment "I've read everything of interest to me in the public domain." Wow theres like a Jillion books in the PD and I'm constantly finding new old Authors that are awesome. I download books by the dozens from this site and read 50 pages or so then abandon them without regret if they suck but I've found tons of great books. Although I have to admit that I almost fell asleep reading your list...
I can just see myself standing buried in the stacks at the library trying to decide if a book is worth lugging home just to abandon when it sours.
I'm reading The Last Day of a Condemned Man by Victor Hugo right now. Extremely contemporary Argument for the abolition of the death penalty written in 1830. A great read. Written from the standpoint of the condemned man in the last few hours of his life, his thoughts and feelings, its got me grabbed royally so I'm HUNKERED down with it right now readin away!!!
As for the argument in this thread... Could it be we have a troll among us who loves to just stir up the dust for the fun of watching it fly? hhhmmm..... FISH ON???>>??
