I can imagine reading them in original Russian would add another level to the experience. Interestingly enough, I devoured Infinite Jest and loved the entire novel. Gravity's Rainbow was simply too confusing to me and I think I would

I do something a little different but only because it's simpler and doesn't really require any specific programs to use. I dump all my journals, diary entries, notes, thoughts, trivia and miscellaneous things I would like to reme

I have tried both PB and Freemind and I still have trouble grasping the use. I say Procrastination-forming because in my experience with these kind of tools you end up spending more time formatting and aesthetic-izing your stuff than actual

I don't see what's so great about such a program other than it's a "shinier" version of the basic folder layout in any modern OS. I mean, you can do all the same stuff using files and folders from your C:\ and add shortcuts between them if

I second Calibre. I supposedly works for Mac too. I use it for Windows and on my Sony PRS-600. Calibre offers lots of ready-to-use web subscriptions which gathers articles from other websites like an RSS Reader.
