Old texts

As well as developing a taste for old films (there's a good one on the BBC to tonight, again with Lee Marvin), I've started to move away from contemporary fiction in favour of the classics and older works in general.

I've found Google Books is a wonderful tool to search for long lost writings. Indeed, it's quite easy to spend a few hours lazily adventuring around this lost world, stumbling around and enjoying the delights of forgotten works. While recent books are only partially scanned due to copyright laws, you can restrict your searches to 'Full Versions' to limit your findings to books and articles that have been scanned in their entirety. Wonderful.
