today im trying to get started on robert burton's anatomy of melancholy
a very readable online edition can be found here:
http://www.exclassics.com/anatomy/anatint.htm
the one i found on gutenberg is a mess, all words jumbled on the page, at least the kindle version. this one is better, the pdf version is more than decent.
not sure i'll manage to read it but have to give it a shot...
