Kind of shocked epub books by Arthur Conan Doyle, like Sherlock Holmes' adventures, have been downloaded so little from Project Gutenberg: they are, after all, out of copyright. Like, are such electronic books being bought from a shop instead of merely downloading them?

I finished getting my 170+ #eBooks off #Amazon and into #Calibre and stripped the #DRM from them. As an interesting aside, something that I was aware of but hadn't really considered is I can have Calibre scan news websites daily and create #ePub books to read on my device.

Now I'm just trying to find the right reading app to use on my device. The leading app right now is #Librera, but I miss having shelves / groups in it. But I love the integration of #ProjectGutenberg and #InternetArchive.

Declassified #CIAGuide to Sabotaging #Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

The World War II-era "#SimpleSabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

"A declassified World War II-era government guide to 'simple sabotage' is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual,' was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and 'describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully #annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.'

"Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on #ProjectGutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

"'#Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially-trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual #CitizenSaboteur can perform,' the guide begins. 'Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury, detection, and reprisal.'"

It may be a coincidence of available pulp magazines, but it could also be that someone is searching out Murray Leinster stories to upload to Project Gutenberg, and either way I'm cheering them on.

@DoomsdaysCW I recently finished WC's "Man & Wife", on my tablet as an #eBook d/l from the magnificent #ProjectGutenberg #GutenbergProject @gutenberg_org . I've already read several others of his, & i generally like him. That said, i found myself frequently rolling my eyes or screaming aloud in frustration during M&W at his constant misogyny, injecting overt authorial bigotry at the "weaknesses of women" & 42 variations thereof. Mind you, i realise that numerous other male authors of the time were also overtly sexist at least, otherwise also misogynistic, & most certainly heavily patriarchal & paternalistic in their novels. Grrrrrrrr.

How to explain 2 color brioche in 3 paragraphs (and one of them only tells you how many sts to cast on).

It's not the first historic pattern, I've seen, I know they tend to be ... brief. But if I didn't already know what to do for at least brioche - no way, no how.
