apparently it's like a long website, but on paper
[books]
posted by tom / October 06, 2005 / Some light googling for The Turn Of The Screw (prompted by last night's episode of Lost) turned up a pleasant surprise: free ghost story ebooks from Amazon. Yeah, these are all out of copyright and therefore already available via Project Gutenberg. But it's still nice to have it packaged as an ebook — the format almost makes reading on a PDA pleasant.
Oh, and after dragging my uncultured ass through some plot synopses, it seems like the book probably doesn't have many implications for Lost other than a rededication to spooky ambiguity — which we already have plenty of, thanks.
But hell, I'll read it anyway, breaking my longstanding rule of avoiding all literature that isn't directly related to contemporary television shows.

The book is excellent. One of my favorite.
It's a rather insane book. Also, packed with Freudian imagery. Enjoy.
Dear Buns: It only occured to me after the fact that I internet-know a TV-watchin' Henry James scholar—check out comments to this post. She occassionally does the TVw/oP gig, too.
