Go Gutenberg!

Aug 08, 2009 20:14

After researching June 1905 Oregonians I have downloaded a couple of books from Project Gutenberg. One of the books is the one the paper was serializing in every Sunday edition, Raffles The Amateur Cracksman. The other was another Raffles book by the same author, E.W. Hornung.

I'll be reading from these on my HP Jornada.

Why am I bothering to mention this? Because I'd like your help.

Do you have any favorite books you would recommend to me which are on Project Gutenberg? Most books published before 1910 probably qualify and popular ones are already on PG: mysteries, horror, adventures...probably not romance.

I figure before I ever buy recent e-books I should tap the interesting books which have already been digitized and are in the public domain!

If I get into this, I will contribute to PG and may even volunteer as an editor!

e-books, project gutenberg
