Are you browsing on Amazon? If you go to Project Gutenberg, there are classic options.
Glad you're feeling better.
Edit: I just realized this may not be terribly helpful, as I know nothing about Kindles. However, in the tradition of BF, I'm OK with that.

I think the answer here is that a hipster with clipless pedals on a fixed is a serious hipster. If they're on platforms, they're poseurs.

There's no question the disqualification was justified. That elbow is WAY up and over. Unnecessary hostility.

I don't often wish I was tall, but seeing this thing for $285 makes me wish I had a basketball player's physique.

Sheep poo makes Norwegian cyclists sick
Dozens of mountain bikers in a race in Norway have fallen sick most likely due to spray from sheep droppings on their path, Norwegian media reported Wednesday.
Of the 300 cyclists who took part in the Transosterdalen race at the end of June in southeastern Norway, at least 50 were struck with fever, stomach pain and diarrhoea in the days following the competition, according to public broadcaster NRK.

How can you say that? Cavendish was all over him. The only body part available to defend himself was the elbow. Hands were busy. What is he supposed to do? Get pushed to the left into someone else. Cavendish screwed up and paid for it. Sagan shouldn't have had to also.
