Ask HN: Good free eBook recommendations for travel?
I'm heading on a long overseas vacation (14 hr flight) with my new netbook (and a promised 8 hr. battery life). Any recommendations for free eBooks for the trip?
Also good RSS feeds that I could put into Google Reader (in offline mode) would be appreciated.
Software development / startup related topics a plus.
- RevRal 17y agoTwo things I've recently read: Not free (10$): Chris Langan's (aka the smartest man on planet earth) The Art Of Knowing | Expositions On Freewill and Selected Essays is a good read. I won't link to his site since there's been a breach of security there, but I'm sure you can sleuth and find the ebook. Free: When The Sleeper Wakes by HG Wells: http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/775 http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/775 . I just got done with that and it is very good.
- J3L2404 17y ago"Eastern Standard Tribe" by Cory Doctorow, well written and free. Also free as an audiobook. Funny and smart near future prognostications. I loved the part about industrial sabotage through plausible sounding bad advice. Have a good trip.
