ebooks

Visited Project Gutenburg, a source of free ebooks & explored some of the titles available & took a look at the different ways you can download or read them. There are over 25,000 free books in Project Gutenberg Online Book Catalog, with various means of searching, including an advanced search with different options for searching.
Title on the left appealed to me: "A mysterious murder on a flying express train, a wily Italian, a charming woman caught in the meshes of circumstantial evidence, a chivalrous Englishman, and a police force with a keen nose for the wrong clue, are the ingredients from which Major Griffiths has concocted a clever, up-to-date detective story. The book is bright and spirited, with rapid action, and consistent development which brings the story to a logical and dramatic ending."
