Read Classic Authors online!

http://www.classicauthors.net/ is a site that I just came across that has a very nice selection of classic writers with their writing formatted in HTML.

Each author selection has selected works that have been converted to HTML, a timeline of events in the authors life, and section for resources on the web.

I became aware of the following classic writers by finding this site:

Joseph Addison
Walter Bagehot
Pedro Calderon De La Barca
Thomas Dekker
J. C. Friedrich Von Schiller
Richard Brinsley Sheridan

It is worth checking out! I found the HTML to be easily read from with additional information that is not usually found with HTML/eBooks for classic literature.

Anne of Green Gables turns 100!

This year, Anne of Green Gables by L.M. (Lucy Maud) Montgomery turns 100. I have not personally read this series, however after quickly reading the Wikipedia entry it definitely has sparked some interest for me. I am a fan of series where the character grows and goes through different stages of life.

I probably will not get to these books until much later in life, however, if you have read these and can convince me of their greatness I might just go ahead and try them sooner rather than later.

So, who out there has read Anne of Green Gables? What did you think?
