Free Online Books Every Student of Humanity Should Read

By Queuebot in Book & Lit on Feb 9, 2009 at 11:08 pm


Here’s a site that links to public domain literature available on the web! You can read such classics as The Picture of Dorian Gray, The Art of War, Ivanhoe, Madame Bovary, The Lady of the Lake, Dracula , Walden, On the Origin of Species, and more -in fact there are 100 links to 100 books.  

The beauty of the public domain is that after an author’s death, his or her works eventually become freely available to the public. This allows websites like Project Guttenberg to index countless classic texts for people to read online or download.

    MOST of those lead to the Gutenberg project.

    I love Gutenberg! The books are typed in a simple text format, so it works great on my sidekick. I could read for hours when it's dull at work (Museum Store Assistant here, and trust me, it gets really boring during this season).
