a hobby of mine is collecting all kinds of files. for example ebooks. i mostly fish them out of p2p/irc networks or ftp servers.
i can't read most of them because there are too many and they partially suck. but i try to tag and sort them as good as necessary.
nor can i upload them all because doing so could cause trouble with the law and i don't want to filter the collection (furthermore there would have to be different filters for different countries and so on...)
so i decided to make a list of my current collection and put this list online. so if someone wants to have some of my ebooks (only books which cause no trouble with the law), you can post here and i will post a download link. it might take time.
here is the link to the list:

at the moment, only the sections "spiritual" and "action" (EDIT: and "fiction") and their subsections are listed.
that's because other sections like "philosophy" or "science" are not yet properly downloaded or tagged. this will take time.
This is a good idea.
I should probably list mine at some point, too (I haz a 30 gig library of ebooks). I'll definitely check yours out later today, thanks!

This makes me and my 16 gig collection feel like we have a small dick.
If you could post a d/l link to some of the alchemy books that would be awesome.
I should actually organize mine.
the alchemy folder is about 800MB big. please be more precise. if many people want it, i may consider uploading it on some 1click-hosters.

If that isn't too big.
If it is still too big take out the journals.
@skieth: i added some more, it's still just 10MB.

Awesome, thanks man.
this is a totally unsorted list, made up largely from books that have been found around here:
http://pastebin.com/f5e244a35
That most of those are mine is a worrying sign.
Especially since they are a fraction of my full collection. If I have the time, later today, I'll take a screenshot of my Terrorism books folder, just to show what I mean.
Well, I don't have time to read them all anyway. They don't take up much space (compared to mp3 or video) so I just collected whatever I found and seemed interesting.
The few loose ones that are in there that are not yours are the ones I looked for and downloaded with a much more specific target in mind, so I'm much more likely to have (partially) read them :)
Regardless, I've always kind of liked the fact that it's just a very small fraction of your collection, since I assumed you weeded out the lesser quality books. Cause, more is not always better
Well, most of them are pretty high quality, actually. I mean, Routledge and Palgrave-Macmillan don't just publish any idiot, and at least 80% of my ebooks are theirs.
I tend to go for relevance more, really.
I'm still reading through the Fascism books, and others that you've has sent me. I don't know how you've been able to get through your own collection so quickly. Do you have a USB jack on the back of your neck and just download them straight into your nervous system? :lol:
Well I havent read all of them. Not even half.
I just have
a) lots of spare times
b) mad speed reading skillz
c) a good source
How do I get B?
If you just want to read faster, there are speed reading courses all over the place.
If you want to comprehend what you read better (which will eventually lead to reading faster), try MA Adler - How to Read a Book (http://gigapedia.com/items:links?id=5135), especially the chapters on inspectional reading.
