I’m currently trying to get better at reading and am doing that by accumulating a library of public domain books, since they’re free and easily available.

  • If you have a specific work you love that was published pre-1928, or is currently not under copyright, feel free to comment it down below.

  • if you have any authors you think are worth reading, also post them below.

I’m currently reading Jack London’s "War of the Classes", and I have “Carmilla” by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, and “The Picture of Dorian Gray” by Oscar Wilde downloaded for later.

    I read the classics a lot when I was younger.These are ones I’ve read and enjoyed:

    Anna Karenina, The Great Gatsby, Twelve Years a Slave, Frankenstein, Moby Dick, Little Women, The Importance of Being Earnest, A Tale Of Two Cities, Metamorphosis, Crime and Punishment, War and Peace, Dracula, Thus Spake Zarathustra,Beyond Good and Evil, Little Women, Don Quixote, Meditations, Gulliver’s Travels, War of the Worlds

    There are plenty more lists out there of good public domain books, but many are not my cup of tea.
