Hi all,

Another very cool site. http://www.bartleby.com/hc/ This is the collected works that Charles W. Eliot president of Harvard put together between 1909 and 1917 as the famous 50-volume, "Five-Foot Shelf" of books and the 20-volume Shelf of Fiction.

Gaming-wise it includes such inspirational classics as: Beowulf, The Song of Roland, The Destruction of Dá Derga's Hostel & The Story of the Volsungs and Niblungs. You'll also find The Bhagavad-Gita, The Chronicles of Jean Froissart; The Holy Grail, by Sir Thomas Malory; and A Description of Elizabethan England, by William Harrison.

Good stuff.

Oliver
