Free Books

FREE!! Yes - really free. Now there's a catch. There's always a catch. In this case most of the authors are dead. These are older books. Doesn't make them bad. In many cases you have EXCELLENT books ready for downloading. And more books than you'll ever read.
Need a sample? How about Dracula or Wuthering Heights? Something a little lighter? How about Ann of Green Gables or The Adventures of Tom Sawyer or The Great Gatsby?
Memories from your childhood? Mine include A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court and most of the Tom Swift books.
Where you ask? Well there are several places to go looking but one of my favourite sites has to be Project Gutenberg (named for the inventor of movable type). Another is Many Books.net which offers a selection of four new books each week (but has another 20 or 30,000 just waiting for you to explore and read).
