Book Excerpts I've collected from the Internet:
Excerpt of Stephen King's "The
ballad of the Flexible Bullet".
The first chapter of "The
Seville_Communion" and "The
Fencing Master" by Arturo Perez-Reverte. This is ths
same guy who wrote "Club Dumas", which the movie Ninth
Gate was based on. (Oh, here's a study
guide for "The Club Dumas", in case you are into
reading groups.)
The first chapter of James Burke's "The
Knowledge Web".
"Why I Love Christmas" -
by John Waters.
