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.

It's not so much that I'm limiting myself to public works - I do have a library card and look around for various books that interest me. I'm just choosing to focus on them more currently.

I will have to check out Libby, it sounds very useful.
