SUMMARY: Download and read classic literature for free from Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg has been collecting digital versions of classic literature since 1971. Their original goal was to have 10,000 texts in their collection by the year 2001. They now have more than 19,000 texts available, most of them literary texts produced before 1920 or so (and therefore in the public domain in the US).

You can find such texts as the complete works of Shakespeare or Mark Twain, or even Alice in Wonderland.

Although most works are in plain text format only, many are also available as HTML.

Many documents are available in multiple languages, or in English translation, such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, Also available is the Mahabharata (an epic poem of India) or Beowulf in Old English.
