Worth every penny, cause it's free November 14, 2009

Aristophanes is one of the greats of western literature. His plays (all of which are comedies) are still funny 2,300 years after they were written. So it's good to see that there is a free Kindle version available. But you may want to consider spending a little money when getting the plays.
This book contains the following plays:
- The Knights
- The Acharnians
- Peace
- Lysistrata
- The Clouds
The last two plays are included in the Great Books of the Western World's Ten Year Reading plan for year one.
So what's wrong with this book? Well, basically it's a straight from text to Kindle conversion. There is no live Table of Contents. So, in a book which is really a compilation of five plays, you can't actually go read a specific play. This isn't really useful in a compilation.
