I’m not tracking downloads of the free ebooks on Planet eBook, so probably the number one question I have for those of you who have subscribed to the blog and downloaded some eBooks is: do you prefer the ‘1-page’ version or the ‘2-page’ version?

Moby Dick
April 29, 2008 – 2:58 am
Again, I always go to sea as a sailor, because they make a point of paying me for my trouble, whereas they never pay passengers a single penny that I ever heard of. On the contrary, passengers themselves must pay. And there is all the difference in the world between paying and being paid. The [...]
