treetops 05-04-2009, 12:16 AM I read a book called The Giver by Lowis Lowry in high school, I wanted to read it again so I searched for it on google, found it. Read the first 30 pages online, then it cut me off, it was just a preview. So now im starving for more, I looked on the first 7 pages of google and yahoo search results, checked torrents, searched many ebook sites and scoured rapid share. Yeah in all that time I could have gone to the library. If anyone here knows a great site to hunt down free book downloads id appreciate it! kimsland 05-04-2009, 12:27 AM I've used this search engine before: http://www.pdf-search-engine.com/the-giver-full-pdf.html But some of these books and things are very hard to get Ad 05-04-2009, 12:27 AM Tedster 05-04-2009, 01:25 AM most books like software are copyrighted. You can buy a kindle version electronically probably off of amazon.com bobcat 05-04-2009, 05:41 AM I tried kimsland's search engine, entering: The Giver Lois Lowry and it found about 50 relevant pdf files, which however I did not investigate further. Tip: The name of the author is Lois, not Lowis. I also tried a tuned Google search, but cannot give results because they may be illegal and/or infected. Tedster’s suggestion overcomes both the above risks. treetops 05-04-2009, 07:13 PM I am just going to buy it or go to the library, I searched kims link and other search engines quite a bit, everyone seems to want to share there study guide but not the book. kimsland 05-04-2009, 07:16 PM One last option may be all the online sales areas that anyone can become a member of Anyway, sorry you couldn't find it for free hellokitty[hk] 05-04-2009, 09:06 PM You could look on project gutenberg, just google them up, but i dont know if they would have it, I know the have candide. You could go to http://www.gradesaver.com/the-odyssey/e-text/section2/, that is the odyssey, obviously you would go look for the giver. Curiously, what grade are you in? treetops 05-04-2009, 10:52 PM Im out of school im 26, I first read the giver in 10th grade, Its a great book, I want to read the first one again before I go and look for the sequels. Ill give your suggestions a try :). I'm all for legality, but I can go get this book from the library free of charge, I do not really see why the law cares. I mean say I went to my libraries web site and they offered to let me download the book instead of renting it, both ways= free literature, however it cost them less restocking fees if I download it, I haven't even tried downloading books from my library but im guessing its not done. Ok I just looked they do not offer downloads, they have 2 of these books and they are both checked out. |
