- Thread starter Printimus

Haha, my bad, I'm still somewhat used to having to explain how shit works to teenagers straight out of bootcamp from the navy. (I used to be an avionics instructor)Didnt have to explain man, i knew what you meant
There are a few websites that use personal Kindle collections as kind of virtual "library" by matching people who want to read a particular book with those who own it. Perfectly allowable as the Kindle platform allows sharing for 14 days to anyone. https://lendle.me/
So if you want an Ebook, don't want to pirate, and don't want to pay those are a good option. Just gotta be in the USA due to region restrictions, and it depends on the book. I think there are a few that do it in the UK, not sure. @Scape

if you're looking for nominations... I have a "few" more but I'd really like to see what other members suggest, especially new members.
Haha I'll bet, I do too, but let us stick to the rules and only have one vote per person. However, if you know someone who hasnt nominated one yet, poke em!

My library has ebooks that you can get loaned to you for set periods of time, usually like 5 or so copies of a title, so 5 people could check it out at the same time for a couple of weeks. Might want to see if your local libraries have something similar. At mine (or any of the libraries in my county) you go to the website to check it out and then download it through amazon.
As to nominations I'm going to suggest REAMDE by Neal Stephenson (deliberate misspelling of read me file name). A description from the wikipedia page "The story, set in the present day, centers on the plight of a hostage and the ensuing efforts of family and new acquaintances, many of them associated with a fictional MMORPG, to rescue her as her various captors drag her about the globe. Topics covered range from online activities including gold farming and social networking to the criminal methods of the Russian mafia and Islamic terrorists. "

We need to think about pioneering the universe so we should go back to our roots
Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx

We need the sequel, Brokeback Space Mountain. Conveniently enough it could easily be turned into a ride at Disney

Another giant book by Neal Stephenson? lol I am barely able to get through the first one.
