Google just announced the availability of many classic books for full viewing and download. There are piles of out-of-copyright books just waiting to be discovered. Or should I say rediscovered.
I clicked over to Google’s Book Search to see what I could find. I didn’t know where to start so I decided to search for one of my childhood favorites: Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.
To my surprise there it was ready for the reading, Ok Mom no excuses about finding that old book in storage now you can read it online! Upon further investigation I found another of Alcotts classics: Little Men. While I was browsing the virtual library I found many more of her books. Apparently there are sequels to both of these favorites as well as many more in the series.
Next I stumbled upon the lovely series by Lucy Maud Montgomery.
Have you read Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea,
Anne of the Island, or
Anne’s House of Dreams?
To girly for you? How about The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or give ole Huckleberry Finn another read.
If only it weren’t so late I could think of some more exciting jewels to search for! If you find any of your favorites please share them with us.
(Yes, I know I recently ranted about people putting google ads in their posts. You’ll have to forgive me this once. The thousand hits GoogleBlog has sent my way today has broke my resove in this issue, but only this once and only this post. You all still love me though, I know you do!)
