    The Harvard Classics as free online open source books. They were advertised that, if read, they would provide an excellent Liberal Arts education. Some are simply selections of the whole books - but it is certainly a good overview! I think that I would prefer to read the whole books, though!

      Wow, "The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ" came up #5, three places above "The Holy Bible"

      I'd like to hear what Prof. Burton would say about this list.  I don't know if Twilight is really a literary masterpiece worthy of #3.

    Revisiting the phenomenon of digitizing the world's books. This draws attention to metadata issues, which is good. Google should have a system for crowdsourcing error correction as Mozilla does with Bugzilla.

    The American Practical Navigator Great stuff, if you've ever had an inkling of an interest in sailing, oceans, weather, etc! Read the Juvinile Fiction book, "Carry On, Mr. Bowditch" to understand what this is all about - an old neighbor (a Navy Submariner) told me that this book is part of the standard library on every Navy vessel! VERY interesting browsing, this!

      Social reading -- sounds exciting. I've been thinking how cool it would be to have a class group textbook online. SO like you go online to yoru textbook for your class and you can see what other classmates have highlighted and commented on and tagged and add your own thoughts to the discussion. They can link to their blog posts about a subject in teh book that they did expanded self-directed learning on or just that they thought about more, etc. Sounds SUPER cool, huh? (ok ok, I'll blog about it)

    This is an open source wiki-like record of (eventually) all books ever published. I stumbled across it while looking for information about a book for another class. Interesting.
