The Man Who Was Thursday

I have found a free text-file version of The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton. This is one of the real books often found lying around in the Deus Ex game world.

It is (http://promo.net/cgi-promo/pg/cat.cgi?&label=ID&ftpsite=ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/docs/books/gutenberg/&alpha=1816) here at (http://www.promo.net/pg/) Project Gutenburg.

Here's a link to an HTML version that also provides it in RTF, PDF, and TXT format.

Yes indeedy, and a terrific text it is. I managed to hunt down a hardcover copy and check it out from a distant library.

What a good read. Sometimes a little too predictable, but still a good read. And shame on you! If you'd read through the DeusEx-Machina.com articles and interviews you would've found the link that someone mentioned later on.

There's a treasure of goodies. Check them out!

I've just started reading books actualy. I mean, I have read books before, but it was first last week when I decided that I would start reading books all the time. So, I borrowed Timequake by Vonnegut. Pretty good. Not as good as Slaughterhouse Five though.

Anyway, I gotta look for Thursday in my local library then. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> Oh, and Jacobs Shadow was(from what I read in DX) quite good too.

Hooray for reading! Almost as good as playing games! <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Sorry to disappoint, but Jacob's Shadow does not exist outside Deus Ex. The Man Who Was Thursday, though, has been one of my favourites for more than fifteen years. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Damn. I liked Jacobs Shadow better than Thursday even. Well, what other books in DX exists irl?
