From time to time, some of you will need to acquire a book which is out of print or extremely
Society
hard to find. Or perhaps you want to scan through a book briefly before deciding to buy it, since
you don't want to waste your hard earned money.

This thread is for you guys. Presented below are a variety of resources to aid you in obtaining a
digital version of the text you are looking for.
I must stress that copyright violation is not being encouraged here in any way, shape or form.
These resources are to facilitate you in making educated purchases, not steal from authors.

The first method I recommend is certainly the most efficient, but you have to be familiar with
how to use IRC.
Once inside, search for whatever you want by typing the following command into the main
window:
After a minute or so, an automated bot will send you a list of any results from your search.
He'll send you a zip file, containing a text file. Open the text file, and look at the results.
If you recognise what you are searching for in the list, copy that line (the ENTIRE line) and paste
it into the main window of the chatroom, then hit enter.
When the relevant server has an open slot, it will transfer you the book you asked for.
Simple as that!
One word of advice: make sure that your chat program doesn't automatically ignore zip files, or
this process will not work.

Second main resource is the rich supply of books that are no longer under copyright, or their
rights have been purchased and made open to the public.
The best single resource I can recall right now is on the link below:

I'll add any more that I remember later before archiving this thread.
If you are looking for anything with religious elements to it, make sure to have a look on:

Finally there are the less reputable sites, which I'll stress totse has no affiliation with, nor does
totse store any of the content they supply, these are merely URLs to their respective locations
which in themselves are not illegal in any way.

Great links. I bought a PDA mainly for the purpose of ebooks. Its so nice to have hundreds of
books nicely organized in the palm of your hand.
If anybody is looking into PDAs for ebook reading, be sure to get one with the highest resolution
and battery life. This will ensure your eyes never hurt and you always have something to read.

Judaism
The modern English translation of the Torah that you will find online here was published by the
Jewish Publication Society in 1985. There are also versions of the Nevi'im & Ketuvim, & links to
Readings.
Note: The Hebrew Bible or Tanakh is roughly equivalent to the Christian Old Testament, and has
three parts, Torah, Nevi'im & Ketuvim. The Torah, in the narrow sense (the Written Torah) is the
Pentateuch, the first five books of the Bible. The Nevi'im are the Prophets - Samuel, Kings,
Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel and the Twelve Minor Prophets. The Ketuvim is the Writings, including
Psalms and Proverbs, Esther and Ecclesiastes, Daniel, Chronicles, Ruth, and the love poetry of
Song of Songs. If you take the T (from Torah), the N (from Nevi'im) and the K (from Ketuvim),
and put them together in one word, you have TNK. Add some vowels and it becomes the
Tanakh.Text versions of the Torah, Nevi'im & Ketuvim are available at:

Here's a complete SF novel by Norman 'Spinright' Spinrad. "He Walked Among Us".
It's premise is that a comedian is sent back to Woodstock from the 22nd century. He misses his
destination & ends up in the 90's with the consequence his material is 30 years out of date.
There is also a major element of SF/Fantasy Con & Fandom. We won't even mention
California/Hollywood & New Age gurushipping. I like it, it's fun.
Spinright asks that you might, maybe if you like it, pay some coin to his coffers... He says maybe
$5 or $7. I'm gonna...if I can organize my head to.

I can't believe that there aren't more fiction ebooks out there, with the amount of pirated movies

each book and put it on the net somewhere- Or is it just difficult to find them? Except the most

There is much interesting information awaiting to be understood by those who are willing. This is
the most important information that you will ever attain, but you will never hear this information
on the news or anywhere on television for that matter, not all at once anyways, because it will
open your eyes to how ridiculous mainstream science is and how it has turned into a religion.
Proof that our accepted model of the universe is nonsensical and that drastic revisions are
needed.
These books are for those who are ready to see the universe as it really is.
If you wish to believe that we are all stardust from a giant explosion that is now fizzling out like
a spent bottle-rocket. Then I wont stop you from ignoring the scientific facts that state
otherwise.
