To whom it may concern at Project Gutenberg (@gutenberg_org):

I believe that Edith O'Shaughnessy (author ID 42826) and Edith Louise Coues O'Shaughnessy (author ID 58124) are the same person.

In an attempt to make my #blog a little more personal, I am starting #PixelfedFriday which is a collection pictures that I posted on my #Pixelfed account this week.

Kind of shocked epub books by Arthur Conan Doyle, like Sherlock Holmes' adventures, have been downloaded so little from Project Gutenberg: they are, after all, out of copyright. Like, are such electronic books being bought from a shop instead of merely downloading them?

I just finished A Pail of Air by Fritz Leiber over at Project Gutenberg. It's great post apocalyptic tale about earth thrown into a deep freeze after a rogue Star tears the planet from its orbit. There's not a lot of action but the world building is phenomenal. I'd love to read more stories set in this universe. #scifi #pulp #apocalypse #ProjectGutenberg

I finished getting my 170+ #eBooks off #Amazon and into #Calibre and stripped the #DRM from them. As an interesting aside, something that I was aware of but hadn't really considered is I can have Calibre scan news websites daily and create #ePub books to read on my device.

Now I'm just trying to find the right reading app to use on my device. The leading app right now is #Librera, but I miss having shelves / groups in it. But I love the integration of #ProjectGutenberg and #InternetArchive.

Declassified #CIAGuide to Sabotaging #Fascism Is Suddenly Viral

The World War II-era "#SimpleSabotage Field Manual" is full of steps that office workers can take to resist leadership.

by Jason Koebler Jason Koebler, Jan 29, 2025 at 3:52 PM

"A declassified World War II-era government guide to 'simple sabotage' is currently one of the most popular open source books on the internet. The book, called 'Simple Sabotage Field Manual,' was declassified in 2008 by the CIA and 'describes ways to train normal people to be purposefully #annoying telephone operators, dysfunctional train conductors, befuddling middle managers, blundering factory workers, unruly movie theater patrons, and so on. In other words, teaching people to do their jobs badly.'

"Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on #ProjectGutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

"'#Sabotage varies from highly technical coup de main acts that require detailed planning and the use of specially-trained operatives, to innumerable simple acts which the ordinary individual #CitizenSaboteur can perform,' the guide begins. 'Simple sabotage does not require specially prepared tools or equipment; it is executed by an ordinary citizen who may or may not act individually and without the necessity for active connection with an organized group; and it is carried out in such a way as to involve a minimum danger of injury, detection, and reprisal.'"

Huh. The original Box-Car Chidlren book is on @gutenberg_org https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/42796 . It has a lot more details than the version I remember reading in school. (e.g. it explicitly says their father died of alcohol poisoning) #publicdomain #projectgutenberg #bookstodon

I was looking for something fun to read and stumbled across The Radio Ghost by Otis Klein over on @gutenberg_org . It's got everything you might want from pulp fiction, a pretty girl, a haunted mansion and the power of SCIENCE. Check it out! #pulp #books #radio #ghosts #ProjectGutenberg

It may be a coincidence of available pulp magazines, but it could also be that someone is searching out Murray Leinster stories to upload to Project Gutenberg, and either way I'm cheering them on.

My ninth FANuary boost for a person or account on Mastodon that makes my Mastodon experience a little better goes to –

Project Gutenberg (@gutenberg_org), and I'll include Project Gutenberg New Books (@gutenberg_new).

Project Gutenberg posts author profiles as well as links to books; today's profile is Elizabeth Gertrude Britton.*

Project Gutenberg New Books announces new books daily. Tsundoku!
