I was SHOCKED when I found out that this is true and it's been well studied. I was browsing #ProjectGutenberg looking for tasty things, and found a translation of Beowulf I had not seen. And it said this is appropriate for the 7th grade. And I'm like "unless […]

Yes please, this is one of the greatest educational undertakings of our time : those who made it happen will never get enough credit.

Spotted this in one of my exceedingly rare visits to the ol' Mastodon account, figured #ProjectGutenberg also shared it here. Enjoy!

Does anyone know why Project Gutenberg (English) and Projekt Gutenberg (German) do not have the same contents?
If you search for Robert Musil, for example, compare the English and German. #booksky #projectgutenberg #projektgutenberg
A plain beige and green book cover for Victorian Short Stories: Stories of Courtship. Author: Various. A public domain book
#projectgutenberg read! Appreciated the diversity of the stories. The Parson's Daughter was satisfying - I liked seeing the female lead's POV and Patience's character. Anthony Garstin's Courtship felt promising but unfinished, like a prequel. The others weren't to my taste
#booksky
Book cover for P.G. Wodehouse's 'Summer Lightning', showing a comic illustration of a man and woman clinging to each other with an expression of distress, as they look through an open door at a beribboned pig eating.
Another #projectgutenberg read, also known as Fish Preferred. As always with Wodehouse: greatly absurd, creatively written, with some truly madcap characters - Sue & Galahad were brilliant! I was less keen on the other characters, but on the whole enjoyed this lots
#booksky 💙📚 #humor #classics
Book cover for A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett, showing a black-haired girl gazing across a rooftop into the distance
Yet another #projectgutenberg read I previously owned before my copy was destroyed by a termite infestation :( This used to be one of my favorite childhood stories! Rereading as an adult, I found I needed more suspension of disbelief, but still enjoyed it lots
#booksky #classics 💙📚 #fiction
Book cover for Anthony Berkeley's 'The Poisoned Chocolate's Case'
Another #projectgutenberg read- found this quite a unique #whodunit! Really enjoyed the distinctive cast and clever deconstruction of detecting methods. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys a good armchair detective; here, there are six of them!
#booksky 💙📚 #mystery #crime #classics #fiction
Book cover for George MacDonald's Phantastes, showing a fairytale like setting of nature with high mountains in the distance, strange faces in the trees and bushes and mushrooms close by, and a man staring with an expression of alarm at a ghost girl
Another free read from #projectgutenberg! This is very, very beautifully written. The plot is meandering and highly metaphorical, which won't be for everyone, but I feel this is a book where the focus should be on the atmosphere it evokes and the gorgeous fantasy setting it describes
#booksky 💙📚
Book cover for George MacDonald's 'At the Back of the North Wind', showing a blonde boy in a white nightgown in a snowy, icy blue landscape
Another #projectgutenberg read - I used to own a copy of this, but it was eaten by termites! The writing was beautiful - very #fairytale setting and lyrical prose about nature. The main character was adorable but absolutely unreal in his perfection

手書きの英文と、その注釈。 『鳥取のふとん』の冒頭。
我が家の中学生たちが #朝ドラ #ばけばけ きっかけに英語にも興味持ってくれるといいなぁと思って『鳥取のふとん』を #ProjectGutenberg (青空文庫的サイト)を参考に簡単な英文で書いてみた。
最近は #朝寝ボーイ #夜更かしボーイ 二人とも学校に行ってませんが、勉強への興味関心を失わないでほしいなぁという願いを込めて :droid_plead:

Yes indeed- it’s amazing - wonderful books by Austen, Brontë, Twain, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and so many, many more - free to all via #ProjectGutenberg. I wish som much this was available when I was younger and had much less disposable income to put toward my book habit.
A reminder that there's free things. Free!

Book cover for Kay Cleaver Strahan's 'The Desert Moon Mystery', showing a large skull on a sandy-looking background
Tried another book from #projectgutenberg! I was drawn to the colorful cast of characters and the intricate mystery, but sadly was very turned off by the narrator's judginess and the plot execution - felt like there was a lot of foreshadowing with very little payoff.
#booksky 📚💙 #fiction #mystery
Book cover for L.M. Montgomery's 'The Blue Castle', showing a woman dressed in white gazing at white flowers surrounding her in a forest, watched by a solemn man behind her
Another read found on #projectgutenberg. I struggled with the protagonist for the first few chapters; she was so self-pitying! Once she met more colorful individuals though, the story became far more satisfying; I enjoyed watching her character growth.

Greg Newby, CEO of Project Gutenberg, has passed. Hacker News users express deep sadness and gratitude for his immense contributions to free literature & the open web. Many shared personal stories of his kindness and dedication. A true champion of open access. #ProjectGutenberg 1/5
There's a link to a page on Project Gutenberg titled About Greg Newby:

Screenshot of part of Project Gutenberg's page. It has the usual text about the books on Project Gutenberg, but it is followed by this message: The Project Gutenberg community mourns the passing of our CEO, Dr. Greg Newby. Without his years of leadership, Project Gutenberg wouldn't be what it is today.
I just went to Project Gutenberg and saw this:
