If you're a book fan, like I am, you'll love this site, too! You can look for a review of a book you want to read and fins out what others think about it. You can review books yourself and give your honest opinion, You can become a member of the site (it's free) and join groups that share your interests and you can also try and locate books that have eluded you, because you forgot the title and/or author, and you just may find what you're looking for! I ought to know: with help from people on the site, I found two novels I'd pretty much given hope of ever locating! Now that I know the titles and authors, I've found one online, the other at Amazon! Without Goodreads, I'd still be searching. Like I said, I love it!
I recently purchased some clothing from New Yorker, and I'm absolutely thrilled with the quality! The fabrics are luxurious, and the stitching is impeccable, truly reflecting the brand's commitment to excellence. Not only does the clothing look stylish, but it also feels incredibly comfortable to wear. The attention to detail in the design is evident, making each piece stand out in terms of both style and craftsmanship. I've received numerous compliments whenever I wear these clothes, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. New Yorker has definitely become my go-to destination for high-quality, fashionable attire!
Punctual, dedicated and customer satisfaction their prime motive, if I have to print again I will go for OG only.
Here you will find good philosophical and educational literature. And here you can find both classic and modern materials. It deserves attention.
I like listening to stories while doing chores and computer work, and I particularly like the short story collections that can be downloaded from LibriVox, and all for free. I also like the fact the site is operated by volunteers.
I try to participate every year and the event is so much fun. The forums are pretty active and everyone is very supportive. Lots of great freebies and sponsor discounts too. Highly recommend.
I took the course Writing for Children and Teens a couple of years ago. Before even completing the course, I sold two magazine articles that I had worked on with my instructor! I am currently working through their advanced Writing and Selling Children's Books course. My instructor for both courses has been Victoria Sherrow. I cannot say enough good things about her insights. Her comments always ring true and have honed my writing skills. You can work at your own pace, with a great instructor and well-thought-out materials. If you really want to be a writer, do this for yourself!
I love to read but don't always have time to do leisurely reading. Zoetrope describes itself as "a quarterly literary publication founded by Francis Ford Coppola in 1997 to explore the intersection of story and art, fiction and film." If you're a fan of modern-day story-telling, this may be the website for you to peruse. I love to stop during busy moments to enjoy a short story or two, and Zoetrope always delivers something interesting. However, the downside of this site is that not all of the stories can be viewed in full on-line. More often than not, you'll find this note at the end of the online version: "To read the rest of this story, and others from the Spring 2009 issue, please purchase a copy from our online store." Unfortunately, issues are hella expensive.
Never been to paris. But with the reviews this blog is presenting, it seems that I am also in the know.
It is an amazing place to share your poetry. All these comments about "Home Guard" are lies. Sometimes there are issues, but they are usually resolved within a week. It could be better, but everything can. Most of the people on there are kind, and Eliot York is doing a fine job of maintaining the website. I love it and it is easy to use. Definitely recommend. But also, I kind of wish it included an option to italicize within the website. But it's still awesome anyway.
I have visited the Boston office a few times and I always find the staff to be very courteous. I would recommend this place to anyone who is willing to learn German, and the overall German culture in the US.
What's not to like about free online literature? - This site contains a neat searchable and browsable index of full books, short stories, poems, and quotations by over 250 authors. Though not comprehensive, it has saved me many trips to the bookstore. Bonus points for the literature forums.
With all the slog and juggling entailed by indie publishing, it's great that there's an alternative website for offering your book in hopeful exchange of getting reviews. The site looks great, very professional, plus Library Thing staffers are helpful, patient, and professional. So glad I found them.
If you've read A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius (written by Dave Eggers) or any books in the annual series of the Best American Nonrequired Reading (edited by Dave Eggers) and thought they were funny, then McSweeney's is the website for you. McSweeney's is actually a publishing house founded by Eggers, who has his hands in starting all sorts of things, including Valencia 826, the pretty neat organization that started in San Francisco, which has also spread to other cities, to help write children and adolescents develop their abilities in writing. McSweeneys.net is the on-line complement of McSweeney's print Quarterly Concern Journal, and you can get all the laughs without paying $15 per journal, which is a bit outrageous. Different writers are featured, but all the writing generally falls within what could be described as hilariously confusing performance art in writing form. Think the New Yorker's Shouts and Murmurs times a hundred. I'll admit that I don't always get it, but it almost doesn't matter. What matters is that it's got you rolling on the floor laughing even if you can't explain it to your friend.
Thank you of providing service like this. I am currently using your service and am very happy with it.
I am Ravi Panamanna who has been regularly posting poems at this site since January 2009. So far, I have 251 poems to my credit at this site and I find that this contains a vast database of poets and their poems. Not only that, people are really searching for quality poems at this site to do certain projects and for other studies. I have found that one of my poems was chosen to do a visual project by a group of visual media students of UK. Such things are great from my point of view. So, this site is really watched. Moreover, Google and Yahoo search engines display various links of regular poets and their poems of this site, which is a great thing. Everything is transparent and free as far as I am concerned and I had never felt any hitch over these years. I am only happy to say that this site has really given me a facelift as a poet and what more can a poet aspire for? This site has given a lot of poets as my friends. So far, I have not received any bad comments from anybody for any of my poems. I can easily recommend this site for anybody. As for the advertisements, I find that all of them contain enough information and these ads never interfere the poem or the comments. That way, the ads only add a wealth to the poet's page. Not only that, according to the general interests and the place of the poet, the system seems to pick up similar ads in his poetry pages. Random ads are also available. Video poems are the highlights of Poemhunter. Almost all poems are instantly taken to video presentation by the system. That is something great. Poet grading from 1 to 6 is another highlight. This actually enhances the popularity and worthiness of a poet.
Very Easy to order and sign up for customer profile. Shipment was obviously shipped out the very next day, since I estimated delivery on a monday or tuesday the latest, but received it on friday. Very fast service I would highly recommend sizzleTwistand will definitely buy from in the future. Great Job!
The west has a fascination with India long fueled by a vision of sari-clad women, brilliant as hummingbirds, spotted and sprinkled with sintoor and patterned with henna; of snake-charmers and beggars, bicycle bells and the bazaars; of the scents and tastes and sounds of a society that is only barely on the edge of our understanding, yet, unlike further eastern societies, just tantalizingly close enough to draw us in. I'm particularly drawn, perhaps, because the British have reason for a special interest: the origin of 21st Century England's most popular takeout was once the jewel in the crown that was Victoria's empire. I was raised in a London replete with Indian restaurants, and I was cracking open a can of curry and rice (curry at one end, rice at the other) long before my teens. Long too, before I discovered that the Indians had little reason to love the English, who, aside from getting into all that mess with the Raj, had appropriated the word "curry" for themselves and misused it with vigor. Well, we had a reputation for misusing foreign assets, so it was to be expected, I suppose. The tale told in Vikram Chandra's latest book, Sacred Games, contains neither Englishmen nor curry, but I thought that was a more interesting way into the review than just saying I'd recently finished the book. Which I have, after a couple of weeks of solid bedtime reading and around 900 pages of great storytelling. It's the story of the rise and inevitable fall of an Indian gangster don, from humble beginnings to a humbler end. It's also the story of the policeman he invites to share his last moments, and above all, as is often the case with stories set in India, the main character is India itself. It's an adult, violent, sometimes cold and sometimes emotional ride, and it's not to everyone's taste, but it's a heck of a read. Chandra, a lecturer at Berkeley University in California who commutes between here and Mumbai, is regarded as an outstanding Indian voice in fiction by critics who know a great deal more about books and literature than I do. But despite his academic background and the challenge set by a book of this size, don't be put off. If I can get to the end of it and come out satisfied, anyone can. I have the attention span of a... what was it? Nope, I forget. Anyway, this is, as they say in book reviews aimed more at people of my limited literary ambitions, "a real page turner". Which has always puzzled me, not understanding how a book could be otherwise. Sacred Games is the third book and the second full-length novel from this author, whose work has been widely acclaimed in the literary world. I'll be hoping to read more of his work, when the images left by this one have finally faded, and I'd recommend it to anyone tempted to explore a part of the Indian experience that the tourist guides quite rightly left out.
I never thought that an online essay writing service can be as effective as Literatureessays.org. I am writing this review only to express my happiness for finding a genuine essay writing service. I don't know for how far they can be as professional as this. However, for the time being I am satisfied with them and would like to recommend them to others. Besides literature topics, they undertake all kinds of writing assignments. I had a paper on Olympics and they did int perfect.
Thank you for meeting my deadline; it was stressing me out. No complaints about the quality. I am quite satisfied with the refinement and the ideas presented in my research. The essence of the study has been retained and the thought is simplified. Again, thank you.
Like it or not, at some point in life anyone who speaks British English is going to have to read, study, reflect on, and sometimes even act in, a Shakespeare play. Even some Americans are expected to read at least a little of it, so I am told, in recognition of the unique contribution to world literature of The Bard's huge canon of work. So this is definitely a site to bookmark if you're about to plunge into the dark psychology of Macbeth, say, or march with the noble but outnumbered English working classes against the fancy-pants French aristocrats at Agincourt (England: 1 French: 0). All the plays and sonnets are here, along with study guides, history and everything Shakespearean. Presentation is simple and you can just jump in. The Bard's biography is here, with pictures and even a list of his best movies. One thing I would like to have seen, or heard, is a selection of audio files that conveyed what Shakespeare sounds like, or would have sounded like in the day. The plays, after all, are meant to be performed, not read, and although it wouldn't be feasible to present entire audio versions of the work, a few snippets to give a feel for the sound of the language would have been useful. Another, but only minor, annoyance, in my opinion anyway, were some silly spelling and grammatical mistakes. But then, since spelling and grammar were far from fixed in Shakespeare's day anyway, I guess we can overlook that.

Over a million free e-books listed, many or most of which are available in common downloadable formats such as EPUB and PDF. An international collection, though note that some books are available only in the USA and for those, a proxy or VPN connection or a friend in the USA would be needed. Books are listed by title, author and subject, there is an occasional blog, and for those who still think the Americans are a laid-back sort of folk, a list of the books they've banned over the years. There is also a vast list of external links, covering big repositories of foreign language materials and specialized subjects of all kinds which store hundreds of thousands more titles, at least. This alone would keep you busy for hours, and although some of these links are very old, I picked two at random and they were still active. Which is at least 50% more than I'd expected. It's a very basic, very efficient site with no graphics except in the blog. Although it looks dull, though, you'd be missing out if you moved on in the search for something more flashy. And unlike some sites of this age and nature, it's updated and in touch with the latest out-of-copyright releases. Very good value.
It is full of any kind pdf free for anybody. You can find any book magazine in all aspects of sciese and literature
Reading the love story between Audrey Rose and Charlie has been so charming. The war time story line told thru letters back and forth from the couple brings me such a sweet joy. After 12 months of this story I plan to purchase annually. Thank you. Pam
I GOT SCRIVENER BUT YOU DONT' HAVE TO. It is a disease that will destroy all your work. We live in perilous times and scrivener can be called the most destructive software ever, nothing left... just shambles of what once was a lifetime of work. THIS IS HOW IT HAPPENED: I've sent David/Scrivener several emails concerning downloading another Scrivener's license, as he required me to do, but I was concerned about losing my files, and David, assured me that such would never happened and I didnt need to back up the files because Scrivener would do that. The files were erased 12 hours after I clicked on the link Scrivener has sent me, and this was done while I was sleeping and on purpose. THE PLOT BEHIND THE PLOT: I had no idea that the charges I reported to my credit card as being fraudulent belonged to scrivener. It was an honest mistake from my part, and instead of contacting me to let me know of what was happening, Scrivener/ David lured me to get a new license. In spite of my confusion and my insistence in asking the reason for getting a new license, I was told my files would be safe and would not lose anything. After several attempts to clarify the situation with scrivener and knowing only that my credit card account had been credited and without being offered any other alternative to pay for the bill because it seemed to me I would lose my files, but wanting to do what is right, I accepted to click on the link to pay for a new license. Three emails were sent to David/Scrivener to make sure I would not lose my files but because integrity matters to me I trusted scrivener and click on the link. I went to bed after clicking on the link and woke up with ANOTHER scrivener, one that had no files and had not even been ever used. When I contacted scrivener again to ask for all the files that were removed, then, and only then, I was told that I had reported fraudulent charges (the charges were under another name and the company, which now I know was scrivener, did not have any contact number or listed address, since I had been visited one month before by scammers, I was concerned). Scrivener lured me on purpose to click on a new link as a revenge because I did not recognize the charges and instead of telling me what had happened, Scrivener decided to avenge itself by destroying a life time of work. I just hope other writers won't be lured into trusting Scrivener. The company lacks integrity. The App is unreliable and the people that work for it unreliable as well. And Im sure that in time Scrivener will have the same end as other companies that mislead customers have had. Rest assured that no one succeeds forever running a deceitful business. UPDATE: I received two emails from Scrivener via Twitter: one said that the link I refer to could have been a hacker (yes it was a Scrivener link that intentionally deleted all my files); and the second one said "Don't blame scrivener; blame your parents for having a stupid child." If you know of a product/company particularly for writer that is as unprofessional and as irresponsible as scrivener, please let me know so I can avoid it. I hope I saved some one the grief and aggravation of losing your files.
Writer's Market - This is supposed to be a go-to resource for writers with information about markets, agents, etc. But it requires a subscription that you have to pay for, and some of the entries are far from detailed enough. It should be used as merely a starting point.
Much of the greatest literature in the history of humankind will be found in full text form (and free of charge) at this amazing site. In addition, many useful reference tools are here (also free!)
