    Need to look smarter at dinner parties?
    I've never been invited to those type of parties!

    • strangeloops66 on 20/01/2020 - 18:40

      I can almost guarantee that if you ever go to that kind of party, you will be the smartest person in the room, although you may not look like it.

        Turn up with your own bowl, throw your keys in and go from there

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 20/01/2020 - 21:19

      Not a murder mystery even, when you are the victim? ;)

    Every one of these as far as I can see is available for free on Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

    Looks like this comes as a single 25 000 page volume and reviews say that each book is a chapter, there aren't any chapters within books… have fun with that.

    • crentist on 27/01/2020 - 18:23

      Oof not even that..

      There is no table of content to access; therefore, you must read the books in consecutive order.

      The suggested workaround seems to be to search for your selected author/title but I guess you could just read until you get there?

  • sklzthtklz on 20/01/2020 - 18:19

    Vol 2 for 0.94 as well

    Not a deal, these are free and should be free whatever the format

    • itshammer on 20/01/2020 - 19:45

      People probably don't know about book copyright, about 50 years for books written before 1978

    • BewareOfThe Dog on 20/01/2020 - 21:20

      Unless you are adult enough to buy a printed version.

  • strangeloops66 on 20/01/2020 - 18:31

    Waiting for the Cliffs Notes - I have co-morbidities.

  • congo on 20/01/2020 - 18:48

    Started reading Bleak House, it is so slow…
    In fact, most of these books are slow…

    • IVI on 22/01/2020 - 08:13

      An old Jewish joke+cartoon
      shows a very old yenta donating
      a penny… Her way to live long
      was to Pledge $1,000 to a well-
      known Jewish charity, but pay a
      penny a day to stay alive until
      it's all paid-off… ;-)

      If making a similar commitment,
      eg, to read a set of books (OR,
      better, listen to all the free
      audio books I can find) keeps
      me alive to age 100, it'll be
      worth a token price

      • crentist on 27/01/2020 - 18:19

        I made it about 2 lines in before completely losing focus. I'm assuming your comment was intended as a humourous recreation of a slow book.

        In which case great work. Now I'm ready for bed, and at my next dinner party I can pretend to have heard the old joke about a jewish lady falling down the stairs or whatever happens next. Hilarious

  • offal spokesman on 21/01/2020 - 02:13

    Arent most of these usually free?

  • crentist on 27/01/2020 - 18:12

    Length: 25035 pages

    This'd be way more impressive if it was a physical book instead of a scam
