I've been browsing [url]www.gutenberg.org][/url] and there are plenty of obvious ones to download(Moby Dick, Frankenstein, Jules Verne etc.) Does STW have any other less-obvious suggestions? For example I'm currently quite enjoying After London by Richard Jeffries - post apocalyptic fiction 1885 style!
Have a look on Amazon there are loads of free books.
Hodgson - House on the Borderland.

Looks good, thanks. Never would have found that myself.
12 Years a Slave can be found for free as can a lot of George Orwell's work, 1984 is a particularly bleak read.
IIR Gutenberg has decent translations of Norse Mythology, WWF with gods and weather.
I was about to recommend the Penal Colony because I was recommended it on here but it's not free any more. Still a good read though

A Princess of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. The first and best of his Mars adventures.

Little Lady in the Big House by Jack London is a good one, more obvious ones like Whitefang which is cracking are on there too.
Oh and the first three of John Buchan's stories featuring Richard Hannay are there; The Thirty-nine Steps, Greenmantle and Mr Standfast (the other two aren't yet out of copyright)

George Orwell's books aren't out of copyright yet, at least in the UK. So any free downloads are probably not legal.

Not good, my bad. In honesty I Google'd "free ePub" and went from there. In fact, just looked again, it was from an American site, is this bad?

Yeah, but it's not as if Big Brother is looking over yer shoulder...
Arthur Conan Doyle and the Sherlock Holmes stories.
treasure Island. Couldn't believe I'd never actually read it.
There are some books given away free in other sources too.
Here is a [url= http://www.tagheuer.co.uk/int-en/watch-news/the-times-of-my-life-by-jack-heuer ]LINK[/url] to Jack Heuer's autobiography on the Tag Heuer website.
He is a bit up his own bum at times and I skipt a fair bit but it is a reasonable insight into watches, business, the 70's, formula 1 etc.
Mein Kampf 😈
I enjoyed Robinson Crusoe. I downloaded War and Peace but have yet to get past the intro.
These sites are worth bookmarking for out of copyright books:
