Looking Ahead - Thing 35 Books

A friend sent me a link this morning to an interesting online book source.

http://www.arcamax.com/books Many more Things of interest on the Home page.

Then there is my Overbooked Ning. Link provided awhile ago in the sidebar to this blog.

Slowly I am approaching Thing 35 in sequence of tasks. Here are links previously mentioned.

Brewster Kahle's openlibrary.org.

1. Here's a link to the article in The Economist, March 7-13 issue; "The internet's librarian".
Are any participants in More Things involved in his Open Library projects and the Internet Archive? Use the links in the lower right sidebar of the article to dig further.

2. One resource I have been using to read books online, and download, is
The Literature Page

Project Gutenberg is along the same lines

If you use the link button in the toolbar at the top of the Blogger compose pagewhen you insert links, your links will become clickable and take your reader to the link you're sharing.

I must have brain fog this morning, but I can't make the links clickable. I "added" the three links in my post. What's the Mime field?

Also I read the instructions about html code for the links, but the html view of the compose/edit screen does not show a similar opportunity to insert code.
