Jim NolanHOST
I'm joking.
Bea WilsonGUEST
And I then wanted to go back and look at other Kukuru books and think, why don't they make me feel quite the way that Jeremy's does? And I found, it's a very unscientific thing, I went on...

Brianna LabuskesHOST
I just, I cannot stand it.
Neil ReillyHOST
And I found these books so unnecessary that I don't really want to buy them.
Neil ReillyHOST
So what I've been doing is going to Project Gutenberg on the net.
Neil ReillyHOST
And Gutenberg is where they invented the printing press in the 1400s, whatever.
Neil ReillyHOST
And it's called Project Gutenberg.
Neil ReillyHOST
And you can download books in an electronic form.
Neil ReillyHOST
And then when you download the book...
Neil ReillyHOST
It's almost poetry.
Neil ReillyHOST
Not worth paying for.

And let's go back to Project Gutenberg because it's that where I've got this information from because then I know that...
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
I love reading from Project Gutenberg because then I know whatever I read, as long as I credit it, I can read without fear of being told off for copyright.
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
So...
Gretel le MaîtreHOST
Tradition in the country where they were written refers them to an era of the most remote antiquity, and this tradition is supported by the spirit and strain of the poems themselves.
Chris MalmbergHOST
read it Oh, yeah.
Chris MalmbergHOST
Both of these are available on Project Gutenberg, too.
Chris MalmbergHOST
And The Great God Pan is a novella, and The White People is a short story, so it shouldn't be too much.
