Oh, NOW YOU'VE DONE IT! 
Usually you read e-books on a computer machine. Of course that's not always ideal. Some people get an ebook reader like this Sony one, which can display PDF's.

I can't recommend any books, as you probably would hate them all.

I suggest looking into a Library and looking up a series.
I'd suggest Warriors (Or Warriorcats in England), Percius(?) Jackson and the Olympians, any Stephen King books, the Pendragon series, and/or The CHronicles of Narnis.

Hear now, small creature, what the ancient (but significantly less so then, say, tal or redink or even skull) Schnapper has to say: Visit the great Australian website "Project Gutenberg". There you will find hordes of classics and great books, you can download and read them for free in a legal manner. Know that procuring Harry Potter for free was probably illegal, and that all E-books in Project Gutenberg are legal. If you love fantasy, seek ye the works of Robert Ervin Howard - here is one of his great tales of Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars

Earl, you were wondering who could replace Tal, now we should figure out who is to replace Skorn!

They should be someone who has joined recently, and is able to infuriate the people here with little effort.

@ Hell7fire1: Dude, don't be an asshat, you made a typo and I helped you realize that. with a bit of humor at the side maybe. But just because you modify a post so you can spite someone who holds no grudge against you or any newbies, that's just wrong. I say let's both bury the hatchet (The nonexistant one you created,) and get on with our lives. Okay?

and going to a real library which planet are you from because no-one with a computer does that...

Really? What planet are you from? Not all technological advances have to affect things like books... While there are e-book readers, "normal" books are by far still the most common ones you'll find.

As for finding e-books, Google might not be the best solution because it isn't a place specifically intended to find e-books. Look up e-book stores instead, and if you can't find your book in e-book format, borrow a physical version at a library.

I simply can't imagine a library doesn't have anything good... have you tried other libraries? Because either the one you went to has a sorry amount of fiction or a lack of the kind of fiction you like...

On topic, I'd recommend Stephen King's The Dark Tower series. Not sure if there's ebooks available, probably though!

"@ Hell7fire1: Dude, don't be an asshat, you made a typo and I helped you relize that."
He makes plenty of typos, and pointing them out would just distract from the topic, especially when it takes four or more posts to talk about it... If someone's bad at spelling, you might want to PM them instead or leave it be (many people already realize their spelling is bad).
Also, "relize"?

"I simply can't imagine a library doesn't have anything good" Amen to that! Libraries are centers of culture, beacons of light, 21'st century temples! It is because of the persecution of men's minds by porn, movies, crappy music pretending to be hardcore that the "first-world" world is filled with goyim.

Hell, you said: "a way overpriced book shop"... Angus and Robinson Bookworld sells classics for $10... a small price to pay for wisdom. Also, change torcher to torture before someone else notices

Ok, young chap, I'll try to save your' face: most everyone using the internet has an IP address assigned them by their' Internet Service Provider. This basically provides an approximate location for you both in the world and on the web... it is much like a street address and can be used to catch pedophiles, terrorists and things like that.
Additionally, many game administrators can ban players who are cheating by blocking access to any connection with "x" IP address.

On TDN, the admin can see you are using multiple accounts when you have 2 accounts from the same IP address.

To survive on TDN, You must respect the elders, be willing to admit your' mistakes and not try to lie to cover them up.
Finally, we are pretty narky about double-posters, spam, crappy spelling (unless English is definitely your' second language), and we HATE it when we see 500,00000000000 new threads started by new kids that are like "Hai Guyz", "Lolmao", "It's my birthday", "I'm making teh bestest DMOD Everrr!" etc. Stay cool, and Tal won't assault you. Cheerio, PM (Private Message) me if you need anything.

I don't really care who made the stupid hatchet. It's now in the bottomless pit of despair and nothing can take it out again.

I just changed 'relize' to 'realize', thank'd for pointing out the typo.

Yes, I do find it annoying about all of the double (triple) posting, but I'll bear it for now. Making a second account is okay, as long as you don't use the second one to lengthen a post or have a conversation with yourself.
I do have two accounts, one from my no0bish days called dinker11kbk and this one I currently have. the last one I rid of because it was ridiculous logging in, my computer crashed for months and the account was acting weird by not signing me in, and it was a symbol of no0bishness.
