        Sadly, I can't read for long times on the comp without splitting headaches. Places like the pav are okay (pictures! <3) but prolonged time with just a block of words makes me angryyyy. Why I haven't finished the CWS. I need money for a hard copy. D:

          I cant stand reading books on the computer. I like physical books. I can't tolerate them in digital form.

              I'm a bit like that, too. Small bits of text are fine, but lengthy blocks make my eyes hurt.

              I guess you could print them out.

                      I don't know how many books I've downloaded from Project Gutenberg in the past!

                      Definitely more than I have time to read.

                        Haven't seen you here in a while, Ryu. :3


                        This site definately seems interesting.

                        But they don't have lovecraft.

                        HOW COULD THEY NOT HAVE LOVECRAFT!?

                          A critique of pure reason and paradise lost are on there if I'm not mistaken.
                          "At first it just looked like a picture of a bunch of lily pads, but then I started scraping at it with my pocket knife and the whole painting just sort of spoke to me," Schmidt said. "For the first time, I finally understand what Monet was trying to get across in her work."

                            But they don't have the actual books.

                            STOP IT.

                              Check their science fuiction section. It's pretty varies and sizable.
