Gutenberg recents challenge
===========================

I came up with a new challenge, the "Gutenberg recents challenge".

At least six times per year, pick an ebook from the books listed
under "recents - last 30 days" op the Gutenberg website:
https://www.gutenberg.org/browse/recent/last30

The idea behind this is to get out of your "bubble" and read
something you wouldn't otherwise.

First pick
----------
As I am already reading "The Star Diaries" by Stanislaw Lem,
as well as going slowly through "Scheme and the Art of Programming"
by George Springer, my first pick is a short story:

  "The black kiss" by Robert Bloch and Henry Kuttner

You can find it here:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/76435
(yes, it shows the cover of a magazine.)

This is a horror story, a genre I normally don't read.
I enjoyed reading "The black kiss", so this proves this challenge
is not a bad idea :)

As soon as I finish "The Star Diaries", I'll pick a "real"
book (not a short story).
