Ah, Cameroon, we've had missionaries there a long time. Matter of fact, there are about 10 times as many Lutheran Brethren in Africa, mainly Chad and Cameroon as there are in the US and Canada. We kind of neglected North America as a mission field for a long time.
Our missionaries in Cameroon have had to run a couple of times with the fighting that spills over into there.
A lot of Luther's writings are online though the Luther's Works products are more extensive, as far as I know only the German edition (WA) contains everything.
As far as I know,
http://www.godrules.net/library/luther/luther.htm is the most extensive online collection in one place.
I believe
http://www.angelfire.com/ny4/djw/lutherantheology.lutherswritings.html
is a series of links to pretty much everything currently online, at least in English.
It takes a bit of reading Luther to be able to read Luther. Remember that he spoke grandly with exageration to make a point. So you have to read Luther from both directions on a topic to get to the right point. And when reading him you have to keep the material priniciple in view, the doctrine of justification, that we are saved by grace alone, through faith alone in Christ alone. If what you are reading seems in your mind to conflict with that, well you aren't getting it right.
Realize though that what Martin Luther wrote was not carefully composed and proofread and such, he published a tremendous amount, and he was preaching, and leading a house in worship and doing a thousand other things. So there are mistakes.
Be also especially careful of the Table Talks, they aren't actually written by Luther, but are recreations of what he said from other's notes, sometimes people's notes don't agree even so keep in mind if you read them that they are probably about the least trustworthy writings of Martin Luther.
John Piper's reference on Martin Luther is actually a pretty good introduction and gives you a bit of an appreciation for his workload.

I'm in the state of North Dakota. Grain and cattle are big here, and we produce lots of ducks from our prairie potholes. Locally we produce some rather unusual things. We made jewel bearings and orifices for water cutting. Ceramic connectors for fiber optics. And we also have a place that makes dosimeters which are radiation monitors about the size of a pen.
One of the things my friends from England have found the most unusual here is our roads, you could for instance drive 350 miles on I-94 without a significant turn, no stop signs, so traffic lights, just in our state, it goes several hundred miles in both east and west pretty much the same, one friend from England bought a sports car just for that drive. We currently have a 75 mph speed limit on that road. The idea of a road that you could get on in the morning and drive all day without stopping as long as the gas and you hold out seems quite foreign to Brits.
