This is an index of full text reprints of stories that I have read that influenced me when I was young. They are rather difficult to come by today, as where I live they are nearly impossible to find. Yes, you can find them on the internet, behind paywalls. Ah, that’s why all those software engineers in California make all that money. Well, here they are FOR FREE. Enjoy reading them.

 

Stories that Inspired Me

 

Here are reprints in full text of stories that inspired me, but that are nearly impossible to find in China. I place them here as sort of a personal library that I can use for inspiration. The reader is welcome to come and enjoy a read or two as well.

 

 

Robert Heinlein

 

Robert Heinlein had a great role shaping my ideas about freedom and liberty as I was growing up. His juvenile stories were avidly read and absorbed by my young growing mind. Here’s my full sub-Index…

Robert Heinlein

 

 

Hey! Do you want to download a torrent of all the Robert Heinlein novels? Well, all you need to do is ask. Here is a link to the Pirate Bay Torrent that has around 87 Robert Heinlein full-length novels in PDF, and EPUB file formats.

 

 

It sure beats all those websites that insist that you pay, buy a membership or register to access. I just do not care if they say that my credit card will not be billed. It irritates me that I have to disclose personal, private, and confidential financial information to strangers in order to read a book. Especially one that is easily available all over the United States for twenty five cents in a used bookstore.

 

Ray Bradbury

 

He’s a poet. And I love his work. Here’s my full sub-index…

Ray Bradbury

 

 

Hey! Do you want to download a torrent of all the available EPUB versions of Ray Bradbury works? Well, all you need to do is ask. Here is a link to the Pirate Bay Torrent that has a ton load of Ray Bradbury works in EPUB file formats.

 

 

Lewis Padgett

 

This is an amazing author of which it is very difficult to come across his stories today. Sad. But, here we have some great examples of his work.

 

 

 

Joe Haldeman

A. Bertram Chandler

 

Pipe-smoking, action-loving spaceship commander John Grimes (think Captain Kirk with more of a navy, salty attitude) retires from heroic days in Earth’s space navy only to be immediately thrown into adventures on the remote edge of known space…

Poetry

 

I love poetry. It’s beautiful and calming.

 

 

 

 

My Poetry

 

Yes. I do write poetry and paint (in oils). Since I moved to China, I haven’t really taken the time to indulge in my pleasures in these mediums. Most of my works are now gone and missing. All of my paintings were collected, stolen and sold for scrap, and my poetry… it’s all gone.

 

Here’s a fragment…
