The Complete Harvard Classics

[Zorro]

For those with a Kindle, this seems to be a real bargain for $1.99.

1. Thanks, just bought...

If I get through 1/16 of this I'll be ahead of my 63 years of learning...

2. Is this for real?

I have a Kindle. I have at least $1.99 handy. Should I take the chance?

5. Take the chance...

-

It's definitely worth it if you like historical literature.

I Had to read all of them for two classes in college and got a 4.0 in both of them.

3. One review claims this is the list of books contained therein...

One-star reviews say it crashes kindle.

4. I've read every one of those books...

-

I had to read them for a couple of separate classes in college that combined the History of Western Civ and Literature.

For 1.99, I had to get them, but I'm wondering how they're going to get the five-foot shelf to me, and do I really need it for an e-book?

Anyway, if you're interested in the same kind of collection for the greatest Horror stories ever written (prior to 1950):

HALLOWEEN Ultimate Collection: 550+ Horror Classics, Supernatural Mysteries & Macabre Stories

It's only 99 cents with over 80,000 e-book pages, including Dracula, Frankenstein, all the way up to Edgar Allen Poe and H.P. Lovecraft.

The introduction is written by H.P. Lovecraft himself.

7. Just opened it on my Fire HD8 10th Generation tablet and read for about 30 minutes...

no crashing yet...I like having this all in one tablet, and as an old guy who has used pcs and phones for years I am still amazed how so much content uses such a small amount of storage...I remember thinking microfilm was something when I was looking up stuff for the debate team in high school...boy am I ancient...

9. I did get it.

I mean, I spend more than $1.99 most days on wine, so what the hell.

Even if I only ever read one or two of these, it's money well spent. Happy, happy, happy.

And no, it didn't crash my Kindle. It may matter which iteration you have.

Thanks for posting that. Funny how coming back pays off in under 15 minutes.
