This is one of the many reasons I wish I had a Nintendo DS. Not only are they releasing all the classic SNES RPGs on the system, they're also doing things like publishing a portable collection of 100 classics of English and American literature in handy-dandy cartridge form, plus 10 free downloads. It's an import game, which means it's going to cost differently, but given that the pound is weak now against the dollar, it's a steal at only about $22 American for what amounts to 110 classic novels!
Here's a link to the Amazon.UK page where you can find the collection.
This is an amazing collection. All three Bronte sisters, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Jules Verne, Robert Louis Stevenson… it's a great list of novels that I think everyone should read at least once. Even the Thomas Hardy books (and I'm not a Thomas Hardy fan in the least). If you have any kind of commute to deal with, this is a great idea for you to get in a little reading without having to buy an e-book reader.
