Classic Texts
All texts presented here are tasters or whole texts of great books that have had a clear hand in the shaping of contemporary literature. It is a wholly partisan choice and will be added to to as long as this site is running. Most, though not all, are available as full text in pdf versions which exist as complete files on your desktop and require Adobe Acrobate Reader. The Reader is free from Adobe and can be downloaded from the link in the sidebar if you don't already have it installed.
