    Thanks OP

    Here is the link to Vol1 in case anyone is interested (but it isn't free) - https://www.amazon.com.au/Masterpieces-you-have-read-before-…

  • +14

    I like how the shortened form in the URL becomes "masterpieces-you-have-read-before".

    • guess people passed it by cuz no need to read something they already read lol

  • +1

    Cheapest?

    • +2

      Have you seen it cheaper?

      • +10

        $0 was worth less in 2020

        • +4

          Zero is constant.

          • +3

            @[Deactivated]: They used to pay you to download these books

          • @[Deactivated]: Sheldon said zero doesnt exist

            • +3

              @morediscount: Sheldon's writers are wrong. It would be very easy to prove zero exists. First, I will ask Sheldon how many pairs on pants he is wearing. Then, I will beat him up and take his pants, and ask again. I'm sure he'd then agree with me that he is now wearing zero pants.

    • +2

      Yep…don't want you getting ripped off ;-)

    • +5

      Don’t forget CB / SB

  • +3

    Will read when I retire then. Thanks OP

  • Amazon couldn't verify my location, but now it's not available either… Weird?

    • +1

      Try other device or delete browser cache

      • Tha ks… Worked on kindle through store, but not phone

        • +2

          Yeah I think Google Play store said Kindle app can't buy books anymore, as that would be classed as an app charging customers without google getting their cut?

          • +1

            @GandalfTheCheap: You are correct sir. The Amazon/Google Play/Apple/Microsoft store war continues.
            Amazon does not want to pay Google Play any commission from Kindle eBook sales. Google wants to charge Amazon Kindle commission from Kindle eBook purchases via Android apps. Google Play Books are in direct competition against Amazon Kindle as they sell their own eBooks.

            In the meantime, just buy your Kindle eBooks (including free titles) direct via the Amazon Kindle websites (or from with your Kindle device itself).

    So if I don't read them, I'm immortal?

    • +1

      You still have to read them, but you have time to put it off until later.

  • +10

    hmm volume 3 must have the Asterix and Obelix collection..

    • +1

      And several Choose Your Own Adventure books, I imagine.

    • Did volume 1 already have the Tintins?

  • +6

    Aren’t these books free via Gutenberg?

    • +3

      They are….but 50 in one link saves you having to download each one individually

      • +2

        You say this like trying to find your place in a 27,000 page book has no downsides, and isn't far less efficient to use.

        These public domain books will be available online, free, forever, whenever anybody wants them. Just grab the one you want to read, when you want it. No need to data hoard these.

        • -2

          There is a thing called index. You should try it sometime…it's super useful.

        • +2

          No need to data hoard these

          "File size: 32429 KB"…

      • @Wrongguy - "Aren’t these books free via Gutenberg?"

        They are, but as these are in the public domain, not that many titles are edited and re-formatted. Most are just warts and all.

        Any titles that have been edited and reformatted suitable to suit digital eBook formats have been done by volunteers.

        The choice is yours and there is no point complaining.

  • +2

    I feel like I my passive-aggression is making me resist this bargain. How dare they demand I read them? I’ll show them by actively refusing to read them.

    Now who’s the smart one?

  • +6
  • Hey guys should I buy now or wait for it to be cheaper when vol 3 is released?

    • HODL!

  • +1

    Why isn’t @jv’s manifesto on this list?

  • +1

    Sorry I only read manga.

  • but I don't wanna die

  • Anyone who's heard of Lovecraft but never read any, At the Mountains of Madness is a good little short-story taster for his overall work.

  • +2

    I thought Donald J Trump's (or his ghost-writer's) work would have been there. Sad.

  • Got it. Thanks OP.

    Also, thanks for sharing that it’s cheapest. I was getting confused 😊

  • What are these, none I’ve ever really heard or just endorsed advertising crap?

    • +1

      Milllions of things you’d rather do before reading these outdated list that was made probably before computers were around

    • +1

      Details are in the post itself…There are some pretty good books from writers like Leo Tolstoy, Jules Verne, H. G. Wells etc.

      These are number 51-100 of the 100 'so called' best books ever rated by critics. I can't guarantee that this is a fact but it's based on pretty popular belief.

      • +2

        The word Critics remind me of woke critics on rotten tomatoes lol

        • +3

          Should had used word 'literary aficionados' instead 'critics' then ;-).

  • Thanks
