Online Reading Suggestions

My iPad 2 has been recent made incompatible with Netflix as a result of it being too old.

 

I found this brilliant website which provides mostly true stories covering many topics. Crime, business, sports etc.

 

The content is very good and the stories are good lengths. 20 minutes to 2 hours. Recent one I read was 90 minutes about a guy who was convicted for murder but was innocent. He did 20+ years before he was released.

Thanks for the link I'll check it out.

 

Here's one for you. I have found much on US Library of Congress website. It may take some time to navigate through the collections but well worth it in my opinion. No time limits.

The "Digital Collection" is worth a look.

Recently I've been reading from the "California as I Saw it: First-Person Narratives of California's Early Years, 1849-1900" collection. Enjoyed many of the diary's written by miners of the California gold rush.

I also found good reading in the "American Memory: Migrated Collection" section.

Good shout this R2... nice to read something of substance instead of the usual news stories.

Definitely, maybe, you can post links to your fave stories from there.

 

I liked the biker infiltration one but the guy who did 20 years is the best I've read so far. Shows you just how single minded 1 sheriff can be in a so called first world country.

Makes me want to read the rest of the book now. Where's the best place online to order books in Thailand?
