Lists.

Things that cause me to wish I had a library card here so that I could check them out by Brackett, Aged 20 and 1 month.

-Horatio Hornblower books
-Sherlock Holmes
-Norse Myths
-Books on the British East India Company
-Short story collections.

Things that I have randomly wanted lately:

-more historical men's clothes

Goals:

-to be fierce
-to write things that are fierce and say things that are important and make people think
-to gain strength, particularly upper body strength.

ETA: Both timprov and keptin have pointed out the abundance of Sherlock Holmes on Project Gutenberg. This is indeed useful, however I have minimal computer time here and more down time that is off the computer, therefore print copies from the library would be even more useful.

I know what you mean about wanting to be fierce (and also about gaining upper body strength).

[timprov.livejournal.com]

Project Gutenberg has all the Holmes you could possibly want.

Yah. keptin pointed that out to me earlier. I'd like print copies, though, given that I only get so much computer time here at camp. Thanks, though!

Depending on how you spend your time. Conan Doyle's entire works have been recorded. You can download them for free at Librivox.org

Cool, thanks. I'd probably prefer to read them in print but thank you for the suggestion!

What kind of historical men's clothes are you looking for?

[aliseadae]

Most 1900 and earlier. Newspaper boy outfits, Royal Navy Uniforms, Victorian suits. That sort of thing.

I love Newspaper Boy outfits! They're so well-tailored and crisp.

[aliseadae]

I have a cap that would probably work with them but now I need the rest of the outfit, particularly pants.

Can you not join the library as a visitor? At the library I work at we allow short-term memberships for people staying in the area.

[aliseadae]

Hmm. Thanks for the idea! I should ask.
