I have to read a book over the summer for school and I really don't feel like going out and getting it, let alone reading it, so I was wondering if anyone knew where to find a torrent for the book Theodore Rex. They have it on iTunes for like $47 for the unabridged version, and there's no way in hell I'm paying for something I don't even want to read.

I tied Google and got nothing, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

I also have to read Huckleberry Fin, so I need that too. This will result in several +Kmas for anyone willing to help.

Same here! I also had trouble finding a torrent for one of my books. I found one but it had 0 seeders. It tooks about 3 days of straight downloading. ( just left bittorent open) I have been seeding it for about a week and I just stoped. My book was "Around the wrold in 80 days" I now have to find a torrent for "the hobit" When I seaArch for my other book I'll also try for yours.

BTW, try torrentbox.com or torrentportal.com

I never understood why in hell they make us do this! ITS SUMMER!

Haha, seriously man. I have to read both of those books because of AP Classes, and I have to write a paper for each of them. I hate this crap. (

I found a torrent with 100 Books, but I only want one, so when I try to download just Huck Finn, it still downlods all of them and that's 3.29 GB...

I really don't want to read this crap...

Oh, and those sites got me nothing. Thanks anyway. )

use a client like utorrent[=http//www.utorrent.com]utorrent or bitcomet and when you start the torrent choose which parts of the torrent you want to download

There's audiobooks on Oink, as well as other torrent sites.

For Huckleberry Fin use pinkmonkey.com

basically cheat notes, they take have abour 4-5 paragraphs for each chapter with only the important details and lines you will need.


I used it all through High School and never failed me xD

Bah, stupid AP Classes. I wouldn't be taking them if they didn't look great on my college app.

I remember seeing a private torrent site with "educational" stuff on it. I can't remember what site it was though. A lot of people here were asking for invites and I wanted one because I thought maybe they had audio books.

Does anyone know where I might find a [u5dfbd4086c]In Cold Blood[/u5dfbd4086c] by Capote and any Hemingway or Steinbeck or [u5dfbd4086c]Catch-22[/u5dfbd4086c] by Heller?

I have to read 2 books and write 2 essays. I'm not even half way through In Cold Blood. That's how much I [i5dfbd4086c]don't[/i5dfbd4086c] want to read.

That's probably the only book I actually read for Senior AP English. I thought it was pretty interesting shrug I was also supposed to read Tale of Two Cities, which I still haven't read to this day.

I had to read A Tale of Two Cities during my junior year in English Lit. That book was awful, so I didn't read it.

The only book I actually read this year was The Catcher in the Rye in American Lit.

I read Huck Finn in American Lit too, just read SparkNotes, that's what I did, and I got an A on the quizzes/tests.

The fact of the matter is, Theodore Rex is over 700 pages long and Huckleberry Finn is what, 300? That fuckin sucks! I didn't start either of them...

Huckleberry Finn is pretty good, definitely wasn't an Animal Farm.

Well, I think I found it.
Anyone care to invite me?

Maybe you should add 'LearnBits Invites Please?' to the title.

I found the Huck Finn audiobook on Limewire, so now I just need Theodore Rex.

This may not be the case in all cities, but lots of public libraries have books on tape & cd. I used to work at a library and we had craploads of books on CD so you could borrow it and listen or burn it to your iPod or what-have-you. Libraries rock (ok, 11 years working there made me a leeeettle biased) - I get tons of DVDs of movies and TV shows and lots of CDs of good music from there, also magazines and books too. Best thing - bring it back on time and it's FREE!

yourLibraryBooks4Free.com? LOL

We all like free!

Actually The Hobbit came out about 17 years before the LOTR came out so to be pedantic about it, LOTR is actually a Hobbit era book. wink

Anyway, The Hobbit was god but I didn't like it as much as the LOTR.

Some libraries have downloadable audiobooks eBooks right on their sites.
