100 Books To Read In A Lifetime

30 Books I'm Glad I Read Before 30 - StumbleUpon In various ways, these 30 books convey some of the philosophy of how Angel and I live our lives. I honestly credit a fraction of who I am today to each title. Thus, they have indirectly influenced much of what I write about on this site.

10 site-uri de unde poti descarca gratuit carti in format pdf | Colectionarul Am incercat atat in chrome cat si in mozilla si opera pentru ca m-am gandit ca poate e de la browser insa in toate cele trei a functionat, cel putin la mine. In stanga sus este un buton “Download” click stange pe el pentru a descarca tot pack-ul de 2200 de carti, va dura ceva pentru ca sunt cam 5,8 gb (daca imi amintesc corect). Daca vreti sa descarcati doar anumite fisiere atunci mergeti cu cursorul de la mouse si in dreapta va aparea scris cu albastru “Download” click stanga pe el si se descarca, sau in dreapta va apare un varf de sageata, click stanga pe el si se deschide o mica fereastra in jos in care veti gasi doua optiuni “Preview” si “Download”. Chiar si daca ii dati click dreapta pe titlul cartii si selectati optiunea “preview in new tab” in noua pagina deshisa cu acea carte veti avea un buton de download. Pentru a schimba pagina aveati in dreapta sus doua sageti, unde aveti si numarul paginii (1 of 131) Reply
