G'day!
As people keep asking about books to read and where to find them, I've pulled together a list of sites with free texts. This is just a taste of what can be found on the Internet. Admittedly, new popular books are not available due to copyright issues, but some might even enjoy old and faithful classics and a few less known stories.
