I can still hear my father huffing in disbelief that the 100 boxes he just loaded into the moving truck were only my books. It was a tremendous effort to box and transport my growing library. And it expanded weekly till about fifteen years ago.

I decided to simplify and sold all my treasured books: even my Nancy Drew collection and my Peter Rabbit.  Books are like money; they are meant to be circulated not hoarded. Dusting them was also becoming a real pain.

I always look for bargain books to purchase and free is even better. Here are 4 places you can download FREE books to feed your need to read.

Project Gutenberg

Over 125,000 free books. You can read the books they have collected and socialize with other readers. Read classics like:

Dracula by Bram Stoker
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Iliad by Homer
The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana by Vatsyayana

Bibliomania

Bibliomania has thousands of  e-books, poems, articles, short stories and plays. You can read the world’s greatest fiction by authors such as Dickens and Joyce, Sir Author Conan Doyle, all of Shakespeare’s plays, or just dive into some short stories by writers such as Mark Twain, Anton Chekov and Edgar Allan Poe.

E-books.net

You can download unlimited e-books for Free – Anytime!
You can select a category or browse by author.

The Literature Network

The site offers thousands of free books, poems and short stories that you can read online. Other nice features include forums, author biographies, quizzes and contests.

Happy Reading!
