Site Mirroring In Progress

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you........ Read Piers Anthonys Incarnations of Immortality. All four Foundation Books By Issac Asimov. Ray Bradbury's Farenheight 451. Everything Aurthur C Clarke wrote. vonnegut,

I totally clipswarmed this before any of you hipsters even had a clue.

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.

makes tow of us, MstrLance

tow plus tow ekwels bbq

Frederik Pohl - Day Million Cordwainer Smith - Instrumentality of Mankind A.E. Van Vogt - The Weapon Shops of Isher A.E. Van Vogt - The World of Null-A Any Kate Wilhelm Ted Sturgeon - More Then Human Stanislaw Lem - The Cyberiad Henry Kuttner - Mimsy Were the Borogoves

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 was just wondering the same thing. And yes, apparently.

most do, it would seem

Supporting Hardware

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

I was just wondering the same thing. And yes, apparently.

meeping ninja'd, and with a better list!

Awesomesauce. Thank you.

Hey, Ayn Rand's Anthem. Now I'm gonna go see what meeping Neil Peart was all fanboy about.

I hate the meeping word 'awesome', but it actually applies here. Great find. You should get a good standing at Linkswarm through 3011A.D. for this.

I was just wondering the same thing. And yes, apparently.

Very cool, thanks MstrLance.

Clipswarmed also. httrack confuses me. That would be 2 levels and just pdf files? Links containing what? @MstrLance !!! PLEASE HELP !!!

Enjoy your clipswarm Rads saltpeter, there should be about 20,000 of them.

@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

This might be helpful: some wget stuff explained.

Oh yeah; that, too.

win32 wget (i haven't tested it)

...and you can go through here if your IP has been banned from the site. (how it works)

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.

Has anyone else found gaps in some of the books? couple of Ben Bova novels were missing a good chunk of the book.

^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...

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.
