I need to find a source of large quantities (1 to 50 megabytes) of ASCII
text, with a strong preference towards literature.  Novels and essays are
great.  Newspaper or magazine articles are probably OK too.

Please send me Email at "mnr@cs.cmu.edu" if you have any ideas how I can find
such text accessible from the Internet.  Also let me know if I can include
your response in a summary to post to comp.ai in a week or so.

Thanks!

[ Why?  I need to run some statistics on word usage.  Actually, I'd also
  appreciate pointers to dictionaries of personal and place names, and
  dictionaries with annotations of noun/verb/etc.  Send mail! ]
