Search resources

Nowadays, internet is the greatest source of information that we can have access to. We always are searching information, but sometimes it is difficult to find what we are looking for among all that results provided by search engines. In the next paragraphs, I will recommend you some pages that will help you to find information about films, tv programs, books and music. I am aware of the fact that there are hundreds or maybe thousands of pages like these but I will tell you about the ones that I consider the most useful among all I have ever visited.
If you want some information about a film, TV series or programs, an actor or actress then you should type in your web browser: http://www.imdb.com/. Then you should see a page where it is possible to obtain all kind of data related with movies and TV. Even if the film have not been released yet, you can get a lot of information (cast, plot, release date in different countries, etc.).
IMDB stands for Internet Movie Database and I think you should try it yourself.
If you prefer reading a book but you like to know about it before buying it or even to get it complete for free, you can visit: http://books.google.es/ or http://www.gutenberg.org/.
In the first page you have all the power of google search engine but specialized in books. Here you can search and view some or all the content of books, and get a lot of useful data about them, even links to bookstores where you can buy it.
The second page lets you download complete books in electronic format (txt, html or pdf) for free and it is legal, of course, because the books listed here are rights free.
In www.scribd.com you can view content of books and magazines that perhaps you can not find in google books. I consider that these three resources together can help you to find almost any information related to written word.
Finally, if you are looking for information about musicians, groups or lyrics you can try Music Lyrics Database. It is like IMDB but related with music.
I hope this resources can help you to find what you are looking for (at least, in terms of movies, books or music).
