Lots And Lots Of Scifi And Fantasy Ebooks

A ton of ebooks here. Warning: the downloads are slow and I think there is a limit to how many you can DL in one day. Still pretty cool, though.

bobacus, read them all already. Try 'Armor' by John Steakley for a good story (skip his Vampire$).

Stirling, SM - Conquistador.pdf

Good.

Stirling, SM - Dies the Fire 01 - Dies the Fire.pdf

Also good despite a meepgy main character or two. Stirling's a bit of a meepgo with his main characters but his ideas about fascism are meep.

This is great...now if only find a mirror of that now defunct 'massive open directory of meeps' link all would be right with the world.

my two cents: I found this looking for L.E. Modesitt's Saga of Recluse

I love the books, but some folks say that its more like reading journals than novels...

here

and this is the correct reading order

Do any of those digital books (like the Kindle) have the ability to use pdf files? I don't particularly like to read books on my computer, and I've downloaded over 500 of these so far.

I just use the x61 tablet that I bought from Crackalackin 1.5 years ago.

If you get one that isn't PDF, check google for a converter

@godevillivedog: I just set it to +. and unlimited levels, just in case there were multiple subdirectories and/or other file formats in there anywhere. If that dredges up anything I don't want, I can always delete it later.

I made it through DiFilippo, Paul (1.06 GB, 2188 files at 50 kbps) before the server cut me off. I may need to restart my router and get a new IP assigned in order to continue.

^That was supposed to say 'plus asterisk-dot-asterisk' (wildcard for every-damned-file), but the wmd markdown hijacked my asterisks.

also: make sure you change the options so that it ignores the 'robots.txt' rules

Here's a related question. I read a book in the 80's , perhaps 10 or less years old, Sci Fi, about some dude that travels to dimensions through floating, river-like bands of rings which serve as portals to other places, one in which he is a lizard, one in which he was part of a community of flying things trying to defend their battletoads, and maybe an underwater one too. Anyone?

Bobacus, Sorry I've got no idea...

A similar question: A boy comes home to find his village being ransacked or something. Someone curses him with a cut from a sword to die at the next full moon, BUT a group of 'talents' finds him and blocks his memory of that. They think he is a fire 'talent'. Turns out later is is actually an 'elemental' and he ends up seriously meeping some meep up.

It was probably the first Fantasy novel I ever read, and this was back about 15 years ago (6th grade). I don't remember much more about. Just trying to find it for nostalgia's sake.

^yes, found a few gaps, but only a few. Just found a few missing in the Neil Gaiman Sandman series, but can't complain about 1 or 2 missing out of a series of 75, I can't imagine what all these books would cost me.

I've never read anything by Robert Heinlein, any suggestions? What is his best?

My favorite Heinlein (in fourth grade) was 'Orphans of the Sky', I liked the class separation between the 'Muties' and the 'Norms' just like real life (shhhh....) and the detail of the things like centrifugal gravity and the hydroponic systems to support oxygen and food for the ship. Nice little closed system they have going. Too bad Earf don't run so smoove...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orphans_of_the_Sky

Have to find the link yerself. Sorry.

Stranger in a Strange Land, followed by Starship Troopers (don't let the movie put you off, it was only related by title).

Stranger in a Strange Land, and I could go on for quite a while. Finish Heinlein before you die.

I don't know if bad Heinlein exists, but I'd steer clear of Friday at first -- felt like Piers Anthony ghost-wrote it.
