Ebooks

google has that free online book thing, what is it called again? google scholar? google books? well its google something and I've read some reference books on there doing research and the university library has electronic resources aka ebooks that i've accessed before. so i know ebooks are basically just books without spine, without pages, without physical presence, just some virtual text you read out of your browser, on your computer screen. no fun at all.

but still i've got to say, its really handy for research. i mean you can search key words in there and it'll lead you to the page with what you're looking for and you can skip pages by just typing the page number. i went to project gutenberg (what does gutenberg means anyway?). i looked for Baudelaire's Les Fleurs du Mal (Flowers of Evil) and 'lo and behold! they have it! pretty cool hunh? I can read it at home now, but still i'd prefer to have an actual aged copy of baudelaire's work in my hands than reading one on the screen.

An illustration associated with fleurs du mal. i recommend you to read it if you get the time to. why? i'm not going to say well Les Fleurs du Mal is such a dark and erotic collection of poems that explores human's deep dark subconscious. just read it coz baudelaire wrote it. haha
