I am a big reader so I am always on the look out for a good book. Lately though I haven’t had much time to sit down and read but I am thrilled when I find a new book source, especially if it’s free. There are a few online resources for free books. You have to read them online but it’s free so all the better.
Project Gutenberg – If you haven’t been to this website you are missing out on a lot of great literature. They list other books as well, but if your child has to do a report on a literary figure or classic book this is the place to go. All of the books listed are in the public domain and are free to download. If you are an enterprising person you could even re-publish a few of your favorites, add a foreword, and include relevant resources. Rebecca over at Certain Way did this with The Science of Getting Rich. She gives the book away but offers other products that tie into the purpose of the book. Okay I am getting off on a tangent.
Here are a couple more places online to read books for free.
Daily Lit – This website offers free books to members (it’s free to join). You select the book you want to read and they send you a chapter a day to your email. So you get a chapter in your inbox each day. They also have more recent books for a price. You may find something you like well enough to order but the free books are just fine.
Here is an article that list 23 more places to read books online for free. Happy reading!
