Ooooh. Today's free ebook from Tor.com is Jo Walton's "Farthing", which I've been meaning to read.

If you sign up for Tor's mailing list, they've been sending out free ebooks in PDF/HTML/Mobi format for a few weeks. (And to date, that's the only mail there's been. It's not been in the least spammy.) So far, they've given away:
* Mistborn, Brandon Sanderson
* Old Man's War, John Scalzi
* Spin, Robert Charles Wilson
* The Outstretched Shadow, Mercedes Lackey and James Mallory
* Farthing, Jo Walton

Next week will apparently be Crystal Rain by Tobias Buckell. I haven't gotten around to reading any of them quite yet; I've got several library books I need to finish and return first, and honestly I find reading large chunks of text on a computer monitor to be pretty hard on my aging eyes.

I can't do fiction well on screen. Have you signed up for the Tor usergroup beta test?

I enjoyed Farthing--very good!
