What's better than a good book?

A FREE good book.

On my walk to work this morning, I passed an old Chinese man poking thorugh a pile of books someone left on a street corner.  Among these books were Trainspotting by Irvine Welsh, and the Killer Angels by Michael Shara (a civil war novel which heavily influenced Joss Whedon's thoughts for Firefly). 

I now have some new reading material.

I'm out of zombies, vampires and shapeshifters, again.

I've never read Killer Angels but have sentimental memory linked to it. It was one of the books my mom read when she went through a several-year-long nigh obsession with the Civil War. (all family trips we took except our beach vacation were related to the Civil War for those years.)

There is a library at MIT giving way free books. I made off with like 20 books on arcane parts of science history. It was pretty cool.
