Another one from Rusty. A science fiction classic, the first novel to explore the possibilities of intelligent life from other planets, interplanetary imperialism, technological holocaust and chaos.

The
Complete Sherlock Holmes by A.Conan Doyle
  GBA Only - Use GBA Cartridge |
||
|
Sherlock Holmes should hopefully need no introduction. This is the complete collection of all his adventures together with virtually all the original 600 or so illustrations. Much of the music referred to in the books is illustrated by the inclusion of MIDI files. As the result of text and picture compression, the whole work fits comfortably on a 64Mbit cartridge. In addition to automatically remembering your place in the book, the book allows you to save up to 50 of your own bookmarks. There is an option allowing you to disable the splash sequence entirely so you start exactly where you left off without waiting. |

The
Castle of Otranto
 |
||
|
Horace Walpole released his book in 1764 as a
'translation of a medieval
manuscript'. His story about a cursed family, a spooky castle and vengeance from the past triggered off the genre Gothic Novel and is the predecessor of such classics as "The Mysteries of Udolpho" by Ann Radcliffe, "The Monk" by Matthew Lewis, "Melmoth the Wanderer" by Charles R. Maturin and off course Mary W. Shelley's "Frankenstein". |

The
39 Steps
 |
Lolita
 |
|
|
The perfect combination of fine writing and suspense-filled
plot makes Buchan’s the Thirty-Nine Steps an engaging novel of intrigue,
which was adapted to the screen by Hitchcock in 1935. Written in
1915, we follow protagonist Richard Hannay through England and the
lowlands of Scotland as he eludes spies and keeps Europe from war.
|
Despite its lascivious reputation, the pleasures
of Lolita are as much intellectual as erogenous. It is a love story
with the power to raise both chuckles and eyebrows. Humbert Humbert
is a European intellectual adrift in America, haunted by memories
of a lost adolescent love. When he meets his ideal nymphet in the
shape of 12-year-old Dolores Haze, he constructs an elaborate plot
to seduce her, but first he must get rid of her mother.

Hjalmar Bergmans stora genombrott kom med romanen
Markurells i Wadköping 1919. Den är fortfarande Bergmans mest uppskattade

above was later published in the program book for the OryCon 15
convention. This 6 language online version of the story is made
available on the Net by kind indulgence of the author, who reserves
all reproduction and other rights to the story. In his own words:
"I don't want to see it in distributed print anywhere but don't
mind people downloading it for their own enjoyment."
