PROJECT GUTENBERG

Notice the new Project Gutenberg box underneath my title bar? It's been on the net for ages, but I just discovered it and I am so excited!

One of my favorite pass times is reading, and now I have a whole library at my fingertips. You can browse by Author, Title, Language or Recently Posted and there are 17,000 free books in the Project Gutenberg Online Book Catalog with more being added every day.

You get to read and/or download whole, entire books FOR FREE. Books of every kind. There are three portions of the Project Gutenberg Library, basically be described as:
