The Sword and Laser discussion

I'm sure everyone knows about Cory Doctorow but how about Jim Munroe? http://nomediakings.org/ Angry Young Spaceman and Flyboy Action Figure Complete with Gas Mark are both excellent, funny and available for free. As well as most of the rest of his material.

You can get a treasure trove of audio books here http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/ all free!

If anyone knows any other authors giving away their works or other good sites for free books post them up :)

Here's an old thread about it: http://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/3...

http://www.podiobooks.com/

Free audio books, including such authors as Mur Lafferty, Scott Sigler, Philippa Ballantine, and Tracy Hickman.

I was, and I felt so slighted. I Am Legend will have to wait for another day.

I almost forgot many thousands of books are available on #bookz on undernet. You'll need some type of IRC client to get there. I make no promises on who has permission to copy what though. Be smart and stick to public domain works!

There is an add-on for irc specifically to sort through the chat spam in this channel http://dukelupus.pri.ee/dlfilter.php

If anyone needs help using irc or anything feel free to message brokeeric on aim.
