I've been having fun lately with old Mars stuff.
See, from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen annotations site, I found this: Lieutenant Gulliver Jones of Mars, a fine pulp story.
But then I finished it. And started prowling around the site.
It's... it's full of stars.
I'm finally going to catch up with the Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom books!
It's an amazing trove of classic literature - and their definition of "classic" includes liberal helpings of "pulp." Mmm. Tasty.
Sax Rohmer and Franklin Delano Roosevelt sit right next to each other in the author list. Lord Dunsany, Arthur Machen, Machiavelli... L. Frank Baum (The Oz books! They're INSANE! Read this one NOW!), Lucretius, Mark Twain, Lao Tzu....
I thought Bartleby was cool, and it's more searchable than this one, but still... *this* is a collection.
Check out all the stuff under author "Unknown". Beowulf, the Federalist Papers, the Nibelunglied, Njal's Saga, Popular Science Monthly Vol. 86, and on, and on. Wow. |
