 as some smart people have already noted you can allow selected people to borrow an already purchased kindle book at present.  

WITH SOME TITLES YOU MAY ENABLE THE LOAN BEFORE PURCHASE.

try this link lifehacker.com/5721490/you-can-now-lend-your-kindle-books-to-a-friend-for-14-days and share the print.

whilst i am all for the purchase sharing and opening up  of the printed word  which enables the humble author to gain something back from their hard work,  i strongly urge anything to get this somewhat money-seeking right-wing leaning company to do something other than dip into your pockt.  in the uk the verb 'to dip into' a pocket  also means 'steal'. dickensian slang for a street thief was a dip,and that has hammered the point home.

b t w many classic books are available in free d/l format from kindl, but guess what may not be listed obviously.

be well, friends.xx

 ... You  know when someone makes a great effort to do (write) something and they really try hard (write 50 thou words or so) and their effort can be really great ... for them... but sort of ( like a teen novel translated from another language into English with repeditive and unimaginative pacing and a kind of motherly descriptive Bowdlerised air to it and you don't know whether to bother to finish or persist in the hope that you will find their beta-editor has interfered strongly and creatively) not great, and then you stop yourself and chide the writing critic you that has only blogged a bit recently not achieved 50 thou words or so and could be interpreted as being a sour silly about it....

Well, fuck that; SGABB has an item that has made me behave like Ned Flanders' younger sister at church just now and I don't know whether to treat it as an outline or dump it as a bad job or applaud it's irony or just laugh my ass off at it....

It's a bit like Dickens or Hardy as a style.  Throw the egg at the town centre statue or saw it's head off, it's still more work than I myself have ever done  SO FAR.


Right.


A Hewligan BB entry it is then, I just challenged myself.

 For a film made in the last century, ahem, the spoof film titles at the Oscar Ceremony debacle are still current and only a little sharply out of true.  But the Beavis and Butthead thing earlier now needs to be explained, as does OJ Simpson.  Olivia Dukakis and James Earl Jones are still venerable, but the Mother Theresa musical?
