Pretty straightforward: books and literature of all stripes can be discussed here.

Nooot as legal as the other alternatives here, https://libgen.is has a gigantic catalogue (if you know what you're looking for) to download ebooks from.
I'll add that if you can't find it on libgen, or if you're looking for comics and manga ie things that might not be on there, FMHY is a great thing to google ;) includes audiobooks if you'd prefer that to reading. Includes direct downloads as well as torrents.
That said, depending on what you want to learn, there may be a youtube video on it. There's tons on youtube for certain subjects like video editing or coding if that's what you're interested in.
Edit to add: if you'd rather buy a physical copy, ebay and AbeBooks are great sources.
(AbeBooks is owned by Amazon - bookshop.org might be a better alternative.)
