I see only 1 reallly good one up there..........

Zombies isn't only interesting, but educational.

The Zombies are coming......don't get caught unprepared!!! Read the book before it's to late.

[Rosevn]

Hallu all,

I just view the poll result for the book you would like to read in September 2005, and I see the Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen is most wanted to read above all, :brickwall --> well, I wish somebody here would get me a free online version of Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell, so I can read online myself here :-p :angel:

[Jay]

Due to copyright hassle... not likely to be going to happen anytime soon.

[Rosevn]

:D

I C. So just say that's my wish! Thanks Jay !

[Jay]

No problem.

I'm sure there's a lot more people out there who'd like to read Northanger Abbey... so what about voting for it? hint hint :D

[Taliesin]

Unfortunately for you, most of them either don't visit this forum, are dead, or both.

[papayahed]

Zombies are coming...........

[Taliesin]

Ah, that explains why so many people have voted for Northhanger Abbey - they are zombies.

[papayahed]

Let this be a warning!! The end is nigh!!!!!!!

[Jay]

But I make quite a pretty zombie, don't I? :D

[papayahed]

Come on, people!!!! Can't I get at least 1 vote for Zombies?????

[Jay]

Uhm... that would be yours? :p

[papayahed]

Uhm... that would be yours? :p

I'm saving mine in case Gilgamesh has a chance. :eek:

[Jay]

And voting for Northanger Abbey I'm sure ;)

[Jack_Aubrey]

I always go for the modern books, and they always lose to classics.

[Adie]

Looks pretty close.. You might want to consider using that vote soon, Papayahed ( :

[Loki]

Ah, that explains why so many people have voted for Northhanger Abbey - they are zombies.

:idea: !

Lol, I voted Gilgamesh...and then with that sinking feeling realised it wasn't available on the OLN...

Agh!

[Nightshade]

[Nightshade]

I voted NA because although I read it a few years back I really didnt like it or understand it that much so it s time to try again. :nod:

[Rosevn]

I got it now, thanks! It's really nice of you, :) you see, I'm smiling alot now :).

Jane Austen is also one of my favorite writers, and to my guest NA will win the poll :smash: :)


so in countries where the copyright is only life and 50 years ( like vietnam) it is now public propert y or some such thing

Thank you again. Happy reading, All!

Love,
Rose

Hello all there,

I was about to attach a zipped file of GWTW on here so that you who are interested in reading online can download and read it better. Well, the file is too large even zipped.

Well you so maybe can go to this link
GWTW (http://s23.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2Y8G0JRVUN1HU2C16Y4LN7MBOK) for pdf file. I use the font comic sans ms for the text, hope you like it.

Enjoy!


P.S: Please note that the link is only alive for 7 days, so be quick!

[Nightshade]

Ahh Rose I think that technically that is illegal for alot of the members on the forum because of copyright rules. I think it may also not be allowed on this site if it is an American site.
So although its a great sentiment I think you may need to ask someone who knows like Admin Scher or Logos

It was nice of you though:D

Downloading it now. Thanks!

Sometimes the law can be a bit..erm...weird...fine so I'm not interested enough to find out all the details of copyright law...but to me, author's dead, eighty years or whatever it is after death, the material should be free for everyone...though I understand significant publishers do buy copyright of old books...no harm done as I usually read online as a sample/reference before buying the book.

:angel:

[Loki]

Ah, it's Project Gutenberg. Well that'll definitely be legal anyway. So yeah! :D

[Nightshade]

yeah because its from the austrailian site so your fine.

[Rosevn]

hi Nightshade, I think it's okay because (as Loki assures :-p) it's Project Gutenberg and it's almost the same your posting the link here for me, and then my converting it to pdf?--> :confused: well, where are these admins, Scher or Logos, please?


It was nice of you though :D Thanks :D :-)

and Loki, I couldn't agree more with you at this ;),


but to me, author's dead, eighty years or whatever it is after death, the material should be free for everyone...

If this came true...,hehe :angel: -> :banana:

[Jay]

Yep, but the book's out of copyright in Australia (and I guess Vientman as well as Night pointed out). It might be a Project Gutenberg book, but it's a book from the Australian Project Gutenberg, therefore it's not 100% sure it's out of copyrigt in your (generaly speaking) country. Personaly I think the author being not around for more than 50 years is enough time for a work to go into the public domain. We don't make the laws though so if you really want to download the file and don't want illegal material on your computer, you better check out the copyright law for your country.

End of rant.

[Taliesin]

We are not so sure about the other books, but we think Gilgamesh should be out of copyright, right?

[Jay]

I think that's a safe guess.

[Scheherazade]

Going once...

[papayahed]

Well,this just stinks!

[Pendragon]

Dragon out![/FONT]

[Pendragon]

Sheesh! You'd think I'd learn by now to read the whole list to see if someone else posted the information first!! :cold: Ah, well, my heart was in the right place, anyhow! Surprising what you can get from Project Gutenberg! And also try blackmask.com, especially if you like the old pulp fiction stories...Dragon out! :smash:

[Nightshade]

Wow another blackmask.com fan, you know you are the first person I have ever met to actually know the site.

[Scheherazade]

Going twice...

[papayahed]

Going twice...


Sure ...rub it in.

[Jay]

LMAO !!! http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a157/jayellen/smileys/rotflmao.gif

[Taliesin]

There is hope yet, you know?

[Nightshade]

Ha I found my copy NA but I just got rebecca so better read that first!!

[NNoah3]

Hey :D ... I received Rebecca yesterday so last night I started to read it.

[Pendragon]

Wow another blackmask.com fan, you know you are the first person I have ever met to actually know the site.Yeah! blackmask.com enabled me to get the Doc Savage stories I lacked to complete my collection, since the actual paperbacks were a little too pricey for my limited budget! Also they have the complete Shadow series (I had already got them elsewhere before the sites shut down!), H. Rider Haggard, Edgar Rice Burroughs, and more! Not a bad site if I do say so myself! :angel: And you can download in so many formats!

[Nightshade]

WOW you l;ike Burroughs finally some one else in the entire world who may not think I am a freak!
