Not sure if anyone's heard about it yet. I think there might have been a thread at .net.
Anyways, Project Gutenberg is a project where they collect books whose copyright has expired. You can download the ebooks (and sometimes the audiobooks) for free.
I myself recently downloaded a bunch of stuff including Aesop's Fables, alot of Mythology (greek, roman, norse) and alot of Jack London's works. I also downloaded Bram Stroker's Dracula.
Check it out, it's worth a shot.

You know I'm ashamed to admit that, at first, I thought this was a thread about Steve Gutenberg. :(
It turns out to be something much cooler, though. thanks John. I'm gonna go check that junk out right now.

:lol: So did I. I almost didn't open for that reason.
Looks interesting. I'll have to search thru it when I get a chance.

I was looking thru this, and they've got some pretty good stuff on there. I downloaded the audio version of Mansfield Park by Jane Austen, and am listening to that. Also librivox.org has quite a collection of audiobooks. Some of the readers aren't the best, but hey it's free, so I can't complain.

I ran out of gas one day and had to step into a church to call for help. Upon touching the door, I was struck by lightning and every since then I have been a bit more smarterer!
