Free Books!

Wowio disappeared for a month or so, and I thought the company was going under. Instead, they were going global.

Wowio.com will now give free PDF books to anyone with an email address, anywhere in the world. And not just public-domain texts either. They get copyrighted works, and sometimes damn good ones1 — for example, two of the new books they’re offering when they go live in less than thirty minutes: Some Buried Caesar by Rex Stout, a wonderful Nero Wolfe mystery (reviewed on this blog years ago), and The Sand Pebbles by Richard McKenna, made into a Steve McQueen film in the 1960s.

So hie thee hence and procure some lit’rary comestibles!

    Naahh. But it’s only been a week and I can already see and feel how difficult it is.

    Are you upset or mad at me? Hope not. *hug*
