Early in the morning i glued my fat ass on a chair and never changed my gaze into the direction of the computer. I realized that it's been a while since i basked myself into the land of books. i've never read any book since summer except for the blog posts and online articles. i thought of maximizing my remaining week to expand my vocabulary and at the same time add on a book to my list of favorites. And since i don't have any book in hand, i decided to download a free e-book.
i google-d quickly to find some links and i found few sites to quench my thirst for books. i tripped into www.manybooks.net and was glad to have downloaded the whole chapters of The Phantom of the Opera for FREE. Then I tried Paolo Coelho's and found out that the site only offered old published books. I wasn't contented so i went to another site, I found this www.ebook.com and saw all their catchy statement. it said, "Search your ebook or submit your ebook, it's for free." then i browsed through a couple of the editors' choice and found The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks a must-read one. I remember reading A Walk to Remember by that author and thought that this book would be as marvelous as the one i read.
Alas! I was able to download the ebook and the reader in a dnl. format. I was so moved by the prologue alone and continued reading the first chapter. after the chapter, guess what? a pop-out box eventually appeared asking for my personal information and exact address so they could send me the ORDER. hell, order what? i downloaded the book for free. it never emphasized that only one chapter was free. now, tell me, How Free is FREE?
