Fun Stuff for Book-Lovers
If you love SF/Fantasy, check out
Alexandria Digital Literature: it has a free book-matching program to help you find new authors and novels you'll enjoy, and it
also has a very good, if small, collection of published stories for sale. This is one of the
better "fiction for sale" sites I've seen80¢ is a pretty good price for a
Nebula-winning novelette
Another interesting pay-to-read story site is Mind's Eye Fiction.
The interface isn't as elegant as Alexandria's, but the prices are even cheaper and the
selection is impressive. Added bonus: you can read the first part of each story free while
you decide whether or not to buy it. You are, therefore, absolutely required to check out
"Why I Left Harry's All-Night
Hamburgers," the story that got me hooked on SF. I nearly died of bliss when I found
it again at Mind's Eye.
