Project Gutenberg: Online Books!

 

By Ankita Bhargava 

Hello!

Looking for a book that the library doesn't have?


Try Project Gutenberg! It has tens of thousands of books, all free to use and without having to download an app or software.

Most of the books that it has are older books, so it has many classics, as well as other books series that are less well-known. When you find a book that you like, you are given the option to read it online, download it or read it with Kindle. 

It even tells you similar books that other people have downloaded!


I've used this multiple times to read books that I can't find in the library, and it is really useful! I highly recommend using this website to read books, and I hope that you get to read many new books with it.

    This is pretty cool honestly. I've been looking for a place to read some classics, and this seems like a great site to start, especially with some libraries still being shut down.

    I just checked out this website and it seems really nice! I think that I am going to use this resource more in the future, especially since there are a lot of books that I cannot get at a library.

    This sounds like a great idea. I have wanted to find something like this for some time, and this met what I was looking for. It is definitely a good resource to use when we can't get the physical books that we want.

    This is a pretty good alternative for a library, especially during online school! This will probably help lots of our classmates. Concise but informative, good job!

    This is really cool! It's been a lot more difficult for me to get my hands on books due to coronavirus so this is really helpful!

Why are villains ugly?

By Rose Benjamin In books and movies, antagonists/villains are often portrayed as hideous beast-like people. Of course, there are exceptions, but writers usually tend to make their villain's appearance match their behavior. This may be to add to the reader/viewer's perception of the antagonist as a villain, having less empathy towards them. Many antagonists are already generally bad people, however, so it shouldn't be necessary to have them look weird. I think it is more likely that villains' appearance is designed to scare a reader or viewer, creating a more immersive experience. Different stories have different reasons and backstories for their villain's appearance. One book published in 2004, The Legend of Holly Claus by Brittney Ryan, tells a story about Santa Claus having a daughter, which then awakens an evil warlock deep below the Earth. This warlock has been sealed inside a prison for a very long time, so it makes sense that he would be ugly. However, the n...

An Introduction to the SCP Wiki (Karl)

    The SCP Wiki is an expansive public creative writing project housed on  scpwiki.com . The SCP Foundation (the Foundation) is a secretive fictional organization inside the SCP universe which contains thousands of people, objects, and places that have anomalous properties. These range from a cardboard box which origami dragons fly out of to a deer god that can turn any matter into a hexagonal column. The anomalies that the Foundation contains, how they are contained, and the stories linked to them are detailed in Special Containment Procedures, which take up the majority of the content on the wiki. Currently, there are six "series" of these procedures, each with a thousand articles.     If you go into a random article on the wiki, you will probably be overwhelmed by acronyms, numbers, and unfamiliar names. There are a few articles that detail what some of these things mean. Useful links are always provided in articles whenever they're mentioned. Object classes...
