The Library of Alexandria
My ebook library has been growing continuously over the past two years now, as I download books on a daily basis from Feedbooks, Manybooks,and Smashwords (sometime buying a book from Fictionmania or the Sony ebook Store), and now my library has topped 5000 books.  By my calculations that gives me more great books at my disposal than were to be found in the great and famous Library of Alexandria.  Yeah me!

Romeo and Juliet is not a book but a play, and in my opinion is best enjoyed as a play rather than a book. That doesn’t stop millions of people from buying it in book form and reading it that way. If you are one of those people, get it as a free ebook by following this link to Feedbooks. Whether you read or watch it, you should definitedly expericence this greatest love story of all time.
