Truly excellent news. I've been meaning to read "The Last Man" for about a year; the Time, apparently, has come.

One of the best things about these books is that they’re all in the public domain, so super easy to get free, ebook copies of. :) (That’s not always true for the translated books)

https://gutenberg.org/ is a good place to start

Definitely joining! Do you have preferred translations for the choices that are translated?

We were just discussing this! But I think ultimately no, we don't. We are reading a mixture, just based off personal preference. We will have a master list of books, with supplementary reading as well, and people can kind of chime in to say what they like. But neither one of us has strong enough feelings about it really.
