Books, Books, and more Books

If you like reading, this is for you. Penguine Classic, a popular book publisher, is selling their entire collection of books on Amazon.com. That's 1802 books for $7989.99 (with free shipping). That's a savings of $5342.75.

From Edwin A. Abbott to Emile Zola, the 1,802 titles in the Penguin Classics Complete Library total nearly half a million pages--laid end to end they would hit the 52-mile mark. Approximately 700 pounds in weight, the titles would tower 828 feet if you stacked them lengthwise atop each other--almost as tall as the Empire State Building. But don't worry--a nice set of bookshelves will hold them side by side just fine.
