Beautiful Red M. Darusha Wehm http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2548 en 2007 The future is boring. Technology has solved most of the world’s most pressing problems, leaving people with tedious work and mundane play. Jack is a Security Officer Class 5, which sounds important, but isn’t. However, her banal life as a cubicle worker by day and tinkerer by night is interrupted when she discovers that her employer’s computer system has been invaded. Jack enlists the help of her only friends – her co-worker, Gilles and Adrian, an online friend she’s never met – to help her track down the source of the invasion. Her investigation leads her to a shadowy group called the Red, where Jack learns that not everyone lives a life of quiet servitude. Even though she believes that the Red are responsible for a series of gruesome attacks, Jack begins to become attracted to their worldview. In her search for the people responsible for the attacks, she confronts the leaders of the group as well as her own burgeoning sense of self-awareness. science fiction thriller computers ai mystery cyberpunk future women http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2548.png http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2548.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2548.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/2548.mobi Zombie Richard Kadrey http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2640 en 2002 Short Fiction Horror Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2640.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2640.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2640.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2640.mobi Rowan of the Wood (Preview) Christine and Ethan Rose http://www.feedbooks.com/userbook/1998 en 2008 Rowan of the Wood, WINNER of the 2009 Indie Excellence Award for YA Fiction and a Finalist for the 2008 National Best Books Award, tells the story of a young boy Cullen who meanders through the redwood forest every day on his way to school, losing himself in books and fantasy worlds full of elves, fairies, and wizards.

A portion of the work consists of practical advice on sex. Kāma means sensual or sexual pleasure, and sūtra are the guidlines of yoga, the word itself means thread in Sanskrit. <br />The Kama Sutra is the oldest and most notable of a group of texts known generically as Kama Shastra). Traditionally, the first transmission of Kama Shastra or "Discipline of Kama" is attributed to Nandi the sacred bull, Shiva's doorkeeper, who was moved to sacred utterance by overhearing the lovemaking of the god and his wife Parvati and later recorded his utterances for the benefit of mankind.</p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3622.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3622.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3622.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/3622.mobi Through the Looking Glass (And What Alice Found There) Lewis Carroll http://www.feedbooks.com/book/23 urn:isbn:0688120490 en 1871 Novels Young Readers Fantasy <p>Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There (1871) is a work of children's literature by Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson), generally categorized as literary nonsense. It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865). Although it makes no reference to the events in the earlier book, the themes and settings of Through the Looking-Glass make it a kind of mirror image of Wonderland: the first book begins outdoors, in the warm month of May, on Alice's birthday (May 4), uses frequent changes in size as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of playing cards; the second opens indoors on a snowy, wintry night exactly six months later, on November 4 (the day before Guy Fawkes Night), uses frequent changes in time and spatial directions as a plot device, and draws on the imagery of chess. In it, there are many mirror themes, including opposites, time running backwards, and so on.</p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/23.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/23.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/23.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/23.mobi Doctor Who and the Empire of Glass Andy Lane http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2664 urn:isbn:0426204573 en 1995 Novels Science Fiction Humor/Satire Please read the legal notice included in this e-book and/or check the copyright status in your country. http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2664.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2664.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2664.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/2664.mobi Alice's Adventures in Wonderland Lewis Carroll http://www.feedbooks.com/book/22 urn:isbn:0785824464 en 1897 Novels Young Readers Fantasy <p>Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865) is a novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, better known under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy world populated by peculiar and anthropomorphic creatures. <br />The tale is filled with allusions to Dodgson's friends (and enemies), and to the lessons that British schoolchildren were expected to memorize. The tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense, and its narrative course and structure has been enormously influential, mainly in the fantasy genre.</p> http://www.feedbooks.com/book/22.png http://www.feedbooks.com/book/22.pdf http://www.feedbooks.com/book/22.epub http://www.feedbooks.com/book/22.mobi
