Discussion: Why the "Dickens" is he here?

Showing oldest comments first. Display newest comments first.

You may have noticed some entries in our system from familiar names: Jules Verne, Charles Dickens, et cetera. Why? We're running an experiment.

Just because something is old and famous doesn't mean it's good. Maybe it is, but that's hardly a given. So to help people get used to our system, we thought we'd throw some classic works into the mix. This stuff is in the public domain, and has helpfully been keyed in by the good folks at Project Gutenberg.

The idea is for you all to rate and review them against the standards we would apply to new fiction today. Do the classics hold up? As always, we'll publish whichever ones you say are worthy--we've picked texts that don't currently have good eBook and Audio Book formats already--and will donate the authors' share of the proceeds back to Project Gutenberg.
