Me too.

Oh yes. Go to http://www.gutenberg.net and enter "Haggard" into the Author
box and click Search. That will get you a list of 51 HRH books available
online in .txt and zipped .txt formats from your choice of sites (I have
ibiblio set as my default).
If there is anyone else who does not know Project Gutenberg, it is an
effort to make plain-text books published before 1923 available in
plain-text format on line. Currently there are over six thousand
books available there, plus a hundred or so more from Gutenberg
Australia, either specific to Australia or else out of copyright in
Australia but not in the U.S. Books are scanned and OCRed and then
proofread by the Internet hordes through a project called Distributed
Proofreading: you can sign up and do a few pages when you have some
spare time, comparing the scan with the OCR.
