Candide by Voltaire
http://www.esp.org/books/voltaire/candide.pdf

Little Brother by Cory Doctorow
http://craphound.com/littlebrother/Cory_Doctorow_-_Little_Brother.pdf

Both are freely available in PDF form by clicking the links below the titles : or the titles themselves.

Little Brother is a futurist tale but very realistic, Doctorow is a great writer and this is a quality book; Candide is a sardonic masterpiece by Voltaire, a true classic for the ages.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
1984 - George Orwell
Dark Matter - Michelle Paver
Finn Family Moomintroll - Tove Jansson (A childhood favourite)
Several fiction series done by Clive Cussler


Mostly I read factual books, so Max Arthur's Forgotten Voices of WWI & II, Steven Ambrose's historical accounts of D-Day and Pegasus bridge and Michael Herr's Dispatches about the Vietnam War I find interesting to read.


Currently reading a few books at once, I've got Citizen Soldiers to finish (Steven Ambrose), Clive Cussler's "Arctic Drift", and a collection of Sir Ian Fleming's Sherlock to go through.
