Books to read.
(Preview)
Some very good classical ebook site that I stumbled onto on the net, some of Jack Londons' as well. A lot are in .htm files, i am downloading and saving for the future. I presume nearly all of us have laptops, so you can save them as well when paper books run out. http://arthursclassicnovels.com/arthur...

Sydney Hobart yacht race
