I thought I would share some of my favorite books with my readers. Let me know what you think about them. In no particular order:
The Histories of Herodotus - Ancient Greek history, the first secular attempt at writing the history of a people. Also available as a free eBook here.
Orthodoxy, by G.K. Chesterton - Funny and insightful look at modern philosophy and Christian theology. Also available as a free eBook here.

The Pursuit of God, by A.W. Tozer - Phenomenal little book that will challenge you to deepen your faith. Also available as a free eBook here.

The Prince, by Machiavelli - Seminal work on power politics... another of the oft quoted never read books. Free eBook here.

I love free stuff. Particularly when that free stuff is really useful, high quality stuff. Here are some links to some really great free stuff:
Project Gutenberg - This online project is working to put into electronic form every book that is available in the public domain. They have a huge collection of eBooks that are free. Basically, any book written before Mickey Mouse (1923) is available or will be soon.
FeedBooks - Free, public domain, and Creative Commons books. Also commercial books as well. Available through the Web or on your Android device through the Aldiko book reader.
Linux Operating System - Most distributions are free, many will run very well on old hardware. I run Linux on my laptop and desktop and rarely have any need at all for Windows.
