Please note that the subject of this thread is recommendations of books that are in the MobileRead library. Notices about other deals, welcome as they of course are, should be posted in the "Deals" forum.

Sorry that I did not guess the correct limited point of view from which to interpret the meaning of the title. Say what you mean, and mean what you say, and we can quite literally avoid such problems in the future. Read the links in my signature to learn how we can bridge our communications gap.If you cannot communicate clearly, then I guess I should stick to the Kindle Developers Corner forum where other geeks hang out and I only have problems when NeuroTypical folk wander in there, misunderstand my posts, and react badly -- thankfully rare. I will choose the safest course of action, and retreat to the corner you designated for developers like me. We have our own geek moderators in that corner and we understand the geek superset of accurate and precise English there. Last edited by geekmaster; 06-16-2016 at 08:24 AM. |

The meaning of the thread title is entirely self-evident to everyone. Your off-topic post has been deleted.

Did you even read my post before calling me hurtful names? The deleted post was intended to HELP people. Sorry if we cannot understand each other...

Alrighty. Back on track we are with this quote from the very first post of this thread, thanks to OP Yutsuki:
I couldn't help noticing today's activity in the Announcements thread "Ebook uploads exceed 30,000". Not only did it point out to me that there's a wonderful resource for proofed public domain titles on this very website, but it piqued my interest in what's on offer. I've already typed in a few names to see what's been uploaded -- Austen, Dickens, Brontë. However, I thought that this would be a great opportunity: What are some of your personal favourites that are on offer, right here at MobileRead? |

I would have to say the one by Jerome K. Jerome, titled "Three Men in a Boat."
This is a wonderfully and lovingly told story, and very humorous. Highly recommended! |

From the blue bar near the top of the screen, select "E-Books", then "Browse Latest Uploads". You can then sort the listing by genre. It's not the world's greatest search interface; we've been waiting for years for the absent site owner to replace it with an OPDS front end.

+1. Not only a very good read, but the copy here on MobileRead is also a wonderfully well constructed EPUB (embedded images, fancy Initials). A very impressive job.

I would recommend "The Woman in White" and "The Moonstone" by Wilkie Collins. Wonderful stories, told in an interesting manner.
If you're not already familiar with Edgar Rice Burroughs and H. Rider Haggard, and enjoy adventure, fantasy and sci-fi, then I'd thoroughly recommend the omnibus collections of their novels. I've enjoyed revisiting these very much - saving wear and tear on my very old paper editions ![]() One of the great pleasures of choosing from MR is the care that has been taken to produce the files. |
