THANKS, CAPTAIN OZONE:

Every once in awhile you stumble onto something on the Web that very nearly justifies the hype. Here are two such recent finds:

The Mercury Theatre on the Air featuring Mp3s of its classic adaptations.

and

Shep Archives at Netjuke where you can donlaod a bunch of great Jean Shepherd performances, interviews, etc.

Anyone else found anything neat lately?

First time on your website. Saw that you gave Crime and Punishment a C. Sorry that you completely missed the point. Dostoevesky is amazing.

Cheers,

The Pevear translations do make Dostoevsky much more accessible than the Constance Gardner one I read for that review, but I still think the coda is much better than the novel.

The Time magazine archives are now free. Have fun reading contemporary reviews of your favorite books.

A nice archive of old magazine covers. The Modern Mechanix etc. from the '30s are personal favorites.
