    I just read “The Damned Thing” and highly recommend Bierce’s work!

    Dear Logos, 4:44AM. Another indefatigable effort. I'm sure you know that Jack London had written all this and went to his end before the age of 40. Amazing. Thank You, Logos.

    A little update here

    If you're interested in the life of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, his Biographia Literaria is now on the site

    Or how about Charles Lamb's Best Letters.

    Many more plays by Henrik Ibsen have been added including Hedda Gabbler, Little Eyolf, and Ghosts.


    Karl Marx's
    The Eighteenth Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte has now been added.



    *Many* more novels by such authors as

    Harold MacGrath [including Arms and the Woman and Half A Rogue ];

    Joseph A. Altsheler [including Before the Dawn, The Scouts of Stonewall, The Sun of Quebec, and The Tree of Appotamox ];

    B. M. Bower [including Skyrider, The Gringos, and The Uphill Climb ];

    Richard Harding Davis [including Cuba In War Time, Gallegher and Other Stories, and The Red Cross Girl ];

    Honoré de Balzac [including A Daughter of Eve, Albert Savarus, and Analytical Studies ];


    Jeffrey Farnol
    [including his 12 fyttes in The Geste of Duke Jocelyn and Peregrine's Progress ];

    Elinor Glyn [including Maid and Man and Three Things ];


    Stephen Leacock
    [including Behind the Beyond and Winsome Winnie ];

    Edith Nesbit [including The Book of Dragons and In Homespun ];

    Ring Lardner [including The Real Dope ];

    and last but certainly not least... many more works by humourist Jerome K. Jerome have been added. If you are not yet acquainted with this guy I highly recommend you check him out. I think he's got a sense of humour and wit that transcends time and well, sometimes *sanity*. I mean just look at some of the titles of his short stories and essays; [warning: appreciation of gallows/black/cynical/jaded humour required!]

    From The Angel and the Author; and Others ;]

    "Literature and the Middle Classes",
    "Too Much Postcard",
    "If Only We Had Not Lost Our Tails!",
    "Why I Hate Heroes",
    "How To Be Healthy and Unhappy", and
    "Marriage and the Joke of It".


    From Idle Ideas in 1905;]

    "Are We As Interesting As We Think We Are?",
    "Should Married Men Play Golf?",
    "Do Writers Write Too Much?",
    "Should Soldiers Be Polite?", and
    "Shall We Be Ruined By Chinese Cheap Labour?".


    and from The Second Thoughts of An Idle Fellow;

    "On the Delights and Benefits of Slavery",
    "On the Care and Management of Women",
    "On the Motherliness of Man", and
    "On the Inadvisability of Following Advice".

    Logos, I noticed the other day you don't have Stephan Crane's great short story, "The Blue Hotel." It's certainly worthy of being included and it fits the criteria.

    Great job, Logos!
    The source of any bad writing is the desire to be something more than a person of sense--the straining to be thought a genius. If people would say what they have to say in plain terms, how much eloquent they would be.
