Book stuff

Insomnia download of the day:
from Librivox:
Theological Orations

by Gregory of Nazianzus (329-389/390)

summary: Everything you wanted to know about the Trinity but were afraid to ask.

-----------------------------

They also have Tolstoy's book against the RussoJapanese war (which turned out to be a disaster when Russia lost ).

and
Reminiscences of Forts Sumter and Moultrie in 1860-'61 (version 2) by Doubleday, Abner

and


A-Birding on a Bronco by Merriam, Florence A.
In "A-Birding on a Bronco," she writes an engaging memoir about her several trips to study birds on a ranch in California in the late 1800's.

--------------------------------
Books on line, which lists lots of old books, is a valuable site to find out of print books for your Kindle for free.

It has recently included in their list a bunch of anti catholic screeds from the 1800's on their site. So if you want to know about the horrors of Romanism or the papist conspiracy to take over the world, go peruse to your heart's content.

to give some balance, they also link to Vanity Fair, the magazine archives of 1911-18
