SITTING AND READING
"Tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally coarse in their nervous sensibilities ... will always be the favourite beverage of the intellectual." - Thomas De Quincey
I'm a bit excited to find that Project Gutenberg has the De Quincey essay, Murder, Considered As One of the Fine Arts, available for free and easy download.
Being the dorkosaurus that I am, Gutenberg serves as a treasure-trove of the esoteric, like Jean-Henri Fabre's pioneering works on entomology such as Social Life in the Insect World. There's also assorted varieties of crack pottery dealing with Atlantis, including the Theosophical variant (compiled by the author in a trance-like state as he read the Elder Scrolls written on a super-physical material beyond time and space) The Story of Atlantis and the Lost Lemuria. That one even comes with maps!
