Free Books!

I recently rediscovered Project Gutenberg.   The site is one of the largest collections of free electronic books and ebooks. Currently they have over 20,000 free books in their online book catalogue.

Project Gutenberg contains a wide variety of titles and authors like…

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
The Outline of Science by J. Arthur Thomson
All’s Well that Ends Well by William Shakespeare
The Marvelous Land Of Oz by L. Frank Baum
Oscar Wilde
H.G. Wells
Plato
Edgar Allen Poe
…and thousands more

Yes, all of the books are being distributed legally. The copyright for most of the books has expired in the United States. This means anyone can make copies of the works.

Happy Downloading and Reading!
