I was debating subscribing to Asimov's or Alfred Hitchcock again next year if I get enough micropay dollars at Fictionwise before that. But then I noticed in my RSS feed that PG is publishing The Strand, the magazine the Sherlock Holmes stories first appeared in, and now I am wondering if it might be worth compiling the links for a year's worth of those and downloading them. They are illustrated and look quite nice; and I enjoy the Holmes stories, so may enjoy other work intended for that audience.

Gutenberg has a few other ones, like Punch (a fav of Lewis Carroll) and The Atlantic Monthly. Has anyone read these? Do they hold up well? Would anyone be interested in reading a year of these with me and having a little book club about them in lieu of buying a more current magazine subscription?
