Classic Reader Offers Free Classic (duh) Literature Online
If you're in the mood to read some classic works of literature, head over to Classic Reader and check out their massive library.No special software is required, as everything is prsented in standard HTML format for reading right in your favorite browser. The library currently contains more than 3,400 works by 346 different authors, including Ambrose Bierce, Lewis Carroll, Edgar Allen Poe, and - of course - Shakespeare.
The works are fully indexed by genre, and the five most recent additions are listed in the top-right corner for quick access to new titles.
