Personal Anthologies on CD ROM

Skip the explanation and go straight to the list of books.

Here's the offer:

You can also write a brief explanation of why you chose these books for inclusion on the CD and provide a photo of yourself and an image that you feel represents the theme of your anthology (that's optional -- only if you feel like it).

This is your opportunity

I'm hoping that you'll come up with interesting combinations that I would never have thought of, and that the opportunity to earn royalties will motivate you to encourage others to visit our store and buy CDs.

If you are interested, please let me know ASAP -- you can followup later with your list of books.

For details about all our CDs, see http://www.samizdat.com/readme.html or visit our store at http://store.yahoo.com/samizdat

The first of these personal anthologies is:
Old Friends, selected by Mary Petrelli. Mary explains, "These are books that I discovered from the second grade on through high school, and I love them as much today as I did when I first read them. Each book is the key to some very happy memories." Complete table of contents

    British Literature before 1300

    The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, translated by James Ingram (1 book, 500 Kbytes)


    Beowulf, translated by Francis Gummere (1 book, 140 Kbytes)


    Codex Junius (1 book, 200 Kbytes)

    This file contains translations from the Anglo-Saxon of the following works: "Genesis A", "Genesis B", "Exodus", "Daniel", and "Christ and Satan".  All are works found in the manuscript of Anglo-Saxon verse known as "Junius 11." These works were originally written in Anglo-Saxon, sometime between the 7th and 10th Centuries A.D.  Although sometimes ascribed to the poet Caedmon (fl. late 7th Century), it is generally thought that these poems do not represent the work of
    one single poet.
