Check out annas-archive.org to get digital backups of books you already own that may be otherwise protected by drm. Definitely don't use it to pirate books. Piracy is bad.

Edit:

Also you can use calibre to manage your book library outside of various large book providers.

It's been a minute since I've read the books, so feel free to correct me, but doesnt Gandalf ask Aragorn to find Gollum after Bilbo's birthday? Then they imprison him with the elves who feel pity for him and let him climb a tree. Then he won't come down or something and gets away.

I assumed this is what the hunt for Gollum is, but I haven't looked at anything to confirm this.

My most talented coworker was a contractor that was hired on full time. He has repeatedly said he would never have made it through the hiring process. I think about that a lot.

Remember back in 2001 when everyone freaked out at Cheney's age? He was 60. Our "young" potential candidate is 59.

Lot of jokes here, my brother repeatedly has told me he is disgusted by the fact that we look at toilet paper to tell if we are clean. Granted he would have to get the TP very close to his face to be able to see anything. He says he just wipes until he is clean. Not an exciting answer, but that's what I got.
