  Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is a work of children's literature by the English mathematician and author, the Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, written under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells the story of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit-hole into a fantasy realm populated by grotesque figures like talking playing cards and anthropomorphic creatures. The Wonderland described in the tale plays with logic in ways that have made the story of lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the most characteristic examples of the genre of literary nonsense. (Wikipedia)

  The Plagiarist From Rigel IV by Evan Hunter - Writing stories was hard work—unless Fred had a typewriter like "Reggie" that could write by itself! Nonsense? Fred agreed until he met— THE PLAGIARIST FROM RIGEL IV 
  I bought the typewriter in a pawn shop on Third Avenue. 
  The pawn shop proprietor was a balding old man with a walrus mustache. 
  "How much?" I asked him. 
  "Five dollars," he said casually. 
  I glanced at him skeptically. The machine was a Remington Noiseless, with italics, probably worth a little over a hundred new, and it couldn't have been more than a year or two old. 
  "How much?" I asked. 
  "Five dollars, is what I said. Five." He held up the fingers of his widespread hand. "Five. One-two-three...." 
  "What's wrong with it?" I asked suspiciously. 
  The old man shrugged. "Something has to be wrong with it? Listen, young man, don't look a gift horse in the mouth." 
  "How come it's so cheap?" 
  The old man sighed deeply. "You try to do a favor, you get all kinds of questions. Would you feel happier if I charged you fifty-five dollars?" 
  "I wouldn't pay fifty-five dollars. I haven't got that much money." 
  "Have you got five dollars? Can you pay that much?" 
  "Yes. But...." 
  "All right, take the machine. A case goes with it. Believe me, young man, this is a bargain." 
  "Five dollars?" I asked again. 
  "Five dollars. You want it? Yes or no? I got other things to do." 
  "I'll take it." 
  The old man smiled. "Good, you'll never regret it." 
  He slid the machine off the counter and put it into its case. He snapped the case shut then, locked it, and handed me the two keys.

  An old military veteran wanted to add a little color to his lonely existence. So, he entered Alpha Rome. This virtual world has given him the chance to feel young again and have one last taste of the spice of life. The prospect of death is no longer daunting, as anyone who dies is reborn by replicating in a purpose-built capsule. 
  Volper’s military experience, keen eye and sharp negotiating skills have helped him get off to a successful start, but his view of the project has taken a sharp turn. More and more questions are popping up and there are no answers in sight. Why have people with psychic abilities been declared dangerous mutants, and why is there now a war against them? Why were the androids destroyed and what will happen if they return to this world? How do you get the Skurfaifer profession and why are those who try to do so being hunted down? What are people he knows from his past, people he had thought to be dead, doing in Project Alpha Rome? 
  Volper is intent on getting to the bottom of all this. But he will not be acting alone. After meeting an amateur team of teenage players and their guardian, Volper could not ignore their unenviable fate and decided to turn this group, who are unlikely to do well in the game, into a well-formed and well-coordinated combat unit. He is now responsible for them, and they are ready to stand by him. 
  Read the next book in this popular series where fast-paced fantasy and ruthless post-apocalyptic action meet game mechanics and character evolution to form a LitRPG classic.
