I should have that Jack London Klondike Dealie out in less than a week.. Any suggestions for a title?

Collected Klondike Tales?

Ice Cold London?

Frozen Husky puppy dog Tails?

Complete Jack London Klondike Short stories.. (Too long for reader title)

HarryT · 07-13-2007, 03:51 AM

How about just "Klondike Tales"?

Dr. Drib · 07-13-2007, 09:47 AM

Ok, Harry, this one's for you and....well, OK! OK!, it's also for me, tambien.

Now, for those of you who haven't read Chaucer in Middle English, he's really quite accessible. Even though Chaucer just missed The Great Vowel Shift, his words are (as Harry mentions) easy to figure out in most cases.

One caveat, however: this version contains line numbers. The lines are NOT contiguous from beginning all the way to the end. I'm leaving the lines; however, if enough people want the lines out, then I will attempt a way to do that.

Global change, anyone?

Wonderful - thanks, Don

I'm currently working on The Philo Vance Mysteries. There are 12 books. I'm doing them as two sets of six for Omnibuses. I'm doing it the hard way so it is going to take a bit to do. I'm doing it so the ToC in the book menu does not has all the titles. I have the first book done and am into the second. I hope to have it out sometime next week. Oh yes, it has footnotes which make it take longer. I'm doing it so each footnote is its own page so you don't se any of the others.

HarryT · 07-14-2007, 06:05 AM

Feel free, Jon, but you aware that I posted all these some months ago?

My next project will be Stanley Weinbaum. He is a rather interesting early SF author I found on Project Gutenberg of Australia. I've checked, and I am 99.999% certain that his work is in the public domain in the US.

Dr. Drib · 07-20-2007, 02:07 PM

....a short novella that's available here.

The rest of Weinbaum's work would a nice addition to MobileRead.

A HUGE volume - consisting of a number of novels published as separate Avon reprints and then later as Zebra reprints.

I'm almost finished with creating the annotations + Author ---- this will be a nice-looking ebook!

I'll post it this afternoon ---- but I need to go get a latte and take either my Reader or a Vargas Llosa book I want to start reading with me to Borders. Which one should I take????

Have a "retro" day and take the book!

RWood · 08-02-2007, 11:38 AM

I can just see it now, Dr. Don sitting at Boarders sniffing his book as the police break in and haul him away to perform chemical analysis of the book.

Very funny!!

That's why I always bring a selection of about 300 novels with me.

Just so long as I'm not in jail for more than 3-4 weeks -- if you get my drift!

Are books from the Australian Gutenberg website permitted here if they're not on the main Gutenberg website also?

Yes - that's where many of the books posted here came from.

Great! Look for some Thorne Smith novels next week. Topper (the basis for the Cary Grant movie and the TV series) and Night Life of the Gods will be first.
