Here's an updated idea of how to do it: 1) Put in the complete, where available: i) Melvyn Bragg's Books that Changed the World ii) Norwegian Book Clubs in Oslo (2002) http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Best_Books_Ever_Listings_%28Bookshelf%29 2) Put in the Harvard Classics http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Harvard_Classics_%28Bookshelf%29 3) Put in the BestSellers 1900-1917: http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Bestsellers%2C_American%2C_1900-1922_%28Booksh... 4) The Most Popular 100 books from the last 30 days: http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/scores/top#books-last30 5) Then, use a program to alternate between these three below until you run out of room: i) One randomly chosen item off of a randomly chosen Bookshelves http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Category:Bookshelf ii) The complete works of one author under your Most popular Authors last 30 days: http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/scores/top#authors-last30 Just an idea. But that might be a cool, comprehensive way to make a collection. Candy + cod liver oil. -- Greg M. Johnson http://pterandon.blogspot.com
