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.

Absolutely, actually during my geometry class we read it.

Absolutely a pivotal work with a very interesting fiction within, but goddamn is it a dry read. It's a blessing it's so short.
