One year has passed

Today I am celebrating a year since my first post. If you have followed my reading in the past 12 months you might have noticed how strange and diverse my tastes are.  I would like to thank all of my friends for their support and patience with my constant chatter about blogging, books and page hits, and also for not putting me on ignore or d-friending me from Facebook for spamming them with links of my latest article. 

I am mixing things up a bit so this time you get chill-out music. Enjoy:




I am also giving away one of the books I have reviewed in the past year. So write your favorite quote along with the book you want, name and email. By the end of the week I shall decide who gets the book in their inbox. Don't worry, I shall not spam you, send you Viagra adds or penis enlargement tips. 

Happy reading!

 Update: since most of my friends asked me for books on other media, I have to conclude that this was very counterproductive. Maybe this year I will have more interesting books to share and more friends willing to cooperate.

World Book Day


Today is World Book Day , 23rd of April. It was first organized by UNESCO to promote reading and copyright (sure... we all love copyright especially for books, music and movies). Of course, the brits disregard this day and do their own thing on the first Thursday of March, just like driving on the other side of the road and other odd stuff like the Sex Pistols. Anyway, World Book Day was celebrated for the first time on the 23rd of April 1995 and the day was chosen to celebrate both Cervantes and Shakespeare, whom died on this very day. Shakespeare was also born today, talk about coincidence. There is a more intricate explanation on wikipedia, but basically that's the short story.


In order to celebrate this day, I am giving you some links to free e-books. Here goes:

Project Gutenberg - lots of classics

Free-ebooks.net- some are free especially in txt or pdf format

Openculture.com - 400 free eBooks

ManyBooks.net - add free eBooks

Barnes&Noble - free book section

KoboBooks.com - free book section

Simply get your hands on a book you are curious about and start reading.  Feel free to tell me below about any other website you know with free books, just remember to keep it legal. Thanks.
