Want to Read A Good Book?
Mar 6th, 2006 by Don Ray
Sometimes you are just in the mood to read a book. You look at your bookshelf and see that every book you had planned on reading you have already read. You think about driving up to the Bookmark in Dolega and realize it is Monday and the Bookmark is closed. What do you do? Well, I will give you a possibility.
One of my readers (Leenamarjatta who has the Website Valokuvia ystäville) sent me an email the other day about free eBooks at Project Gutenberg. WOW. 17,000 free eBooks online.
You might want to choose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin, or the Notebooks of Leonardo De Vinci or how about Kamasutra by Vatsyayana (it is in French, but maybe it has pictures). I will leave that up to you to find out.
So, if you are in the Chiriqui area and don’t want to drive to Dolega, or you are like me and didn’t think about Dolega till the day the Bookmark is closed, you can now head to the Gutenberg Project. Thanks Leenamarjatta!
No pictures, as You have by now noticed - I just guess - but, if You want to spend a lazy day, You can lay down in the good couch and just listen to somebody reading book to You.
There are Audio Ebooks both human-read and computer-generated. Not so many, but if You like Sherlock Holmes, You can even choose.
Good lazy days now and then!
Ah ha. You peeked. Shame on you!
Now if I could just lay down and have someone read to me, and someone else fan me and a third to feed me grapes — Ahhhh, that would be heaven.
Yes, I peeked it long time ago, I must confess, but I am the big girl now and futhermore the curious biologist, you remember. So, can You forgive me?
The computer as reader, the ventilator as fan, but Somebody special for feeding grapes, that kind of heaven we can perhaps get , even we are not a sultan.
But , I don`t know, perhaps all of You can be sultans in Boquete!
I read newspapers and magazines from all over the world http://www.allyoucanread.com and there was in some newspaper of Panama advertise of houses in Boquete.
From Finland many retired persons go to live in Spain or Florida.
If we were all sultans then we would not have anything to dream about. I am going to check out your reading URL.
