Who would have thought my shriveled heart/ Could have recovered greenness? It was gone/ Quite underground; as flowers depart/ To see their mother-root when they have blown;/ Where they together/ All the hard weather/ Dead to the world, keep house unknown. -George Herbert

Google Books
This may be old news to some, but I just discovered Google books. It has all sorts of full version books available if they are over 100 or so years old. It also has preview versions of more recent works. Good stuff if you have an interest in the classics- Austen, Dickens, Hawthorne, ect are all there for free.

Ideas create idols; only wonder leads to knowing. - St. Gregory of Nyssa
There's also the full version of Wright's the Resurrection of the Son of God. It's preferrable to have the real work when dealing with something as big and thought-provoking as Wright's books, but it nice to sneak a peak.
