  I had a copy too but for the longest time it just sat and sat on our bookshelf. (When we were stationed in Sg.) I think I just had it in my possession just so I could go neh neny neh neh at the govt for having contraband in the house.

  the only one that stands out in my mind would be Mice and Men. I think Gaary Senise really made a very good george.. and john Malkovich was a fantastic Lennie.

  i like www.manybook.net

  but due to the fact that free ebooks need to be books in the public domain, they are mostly older books.
