I was strolling through alt.games.half-life one day, when suddenly
Oslo surprised me by leaping from a nearby hedge.
As I levelled my service revolver, the unfortunate creature cried out;

I think it is one class book. I've read it several times and plan on reading
it again next week. Any reg who has not read it by the end of the month will
be publicly flogged... No, waitaminute, some of you like that kind of thing.

It was a dark and stormy night in alt.games.half-life when Cannon Fodder
exclaimed:

Sounds much better to me. These Penguin Classics might be cheap, but
they're altogether too arty with the cover design. It's the same all over
with re-issues - I have a great edition of Dashiell Hammett's "Red Harvest"
with a really striking cover. The recent printings I've seen of this have
some blurred photography, a tasteful typeface, and that's your lot. Bring
back the days of pulp, say I :)

I got mine as a free download from a website called classic ebooks for
reading on the PDA (work away from home a lot and get through a lot of
books). Just looked and website seems to have gone. Anyone know of any
others?

This wasn't a pirate BTW - you picked several books for free and then you
could subscribe to more - it obviously wasn't that successful. Great book
though.
