Ten Things with Free eReadsFictionwise currently lists
42 ebooks on their freebie page.
Random House has put up on Scribd Manifold Time by Stephen Baxter and Dark Fever by Karen Marie Moning (both are free for a limited time.) Note 9/3/10: Since Scribd.com instituted an access fee scam to charge people for downloading e-books, including those I have provided for free for the last ten years, I have removed my free library from their site, and no longer use or recommend using their service. My free reads may be read online or downloaded for free from Google Docs;

There's another good blog listing free online novels
ReplyDeleteOnline Novels
From the Introduction
"Online Novels contains the titles of more than 500 online books written by both published and unpublished authors who have made their work freely available on the internet. The novels listed here are organized by category, with brief descriptions taken from the websites on which they can be found."
There's also a great source called dailylit.com. You can get short readable bits of classics emailed to you (or fed to your google reader) everyday. When you can catch a minute to take a break it's a good way to get in a little bit of literature and not feel overwhelmed holding a massive copy of Moby Dick.
ReplyDeleteUm, woot. And I didn't get you anything! Thanks for the links and your chapters.
