Speaking of where things go - here's where a lot of fantastic things are. www.archive.org is an online archive aiming to collect all online material that exists as far back as 1996; as well as scan texts from donors to provide a free resource.
Volunteer scanners collect, scan and send text and images from their own and others' books to the archive.
I've used the archive to check out the early, primitive days of www.narrandera.com (not owned by Narrandera Shire - held privately). It's a reminder of how far websites have come since 2000, when these slow-loading, clunky pages were created.
The archive has 730,000 movies, 82,000 plus movies and about 2.5 million texts.
Enjoy T.S Elliot? Read him here. You can click to turn pages as per any e-book.
Here's some Elliot. Prufrock of course:
"For I have known them all already, known them all;
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life in coffee spoons,
I know the voices dying with the dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?"
T.S. Elliot
