Books

Fiction or non-fiction, serious or silly, books are magic carpet rides to places we've never been before. If you have gotten out of the reading habit, there's always two places to turn: Amazon and your local public library. Amazon has virtually every book in publication, and third party sellers offer new and used books - often at even better prices than Amazon itself. Local libraries have adapted to the Internet by offering high-speed access either at kiosks where you can use their computer or via wireless access so you can use your laptop or PDA. Here are some great resources for your journey.
