Are you an English Classics aficionado who wants to satiate reading urges without burning a hole in the pocket?   If the answer is “Yes”, then read on.  

Days are over when readers need to pay exorbitant prices for hardcopy titles.  Now, there are several online literature libraries which allow readers  to download and  read digitalized books  on their  PC, iPad, iPhone, Kindle, eBook Reader, or other portable device. Apart from that, all the titles can be downloaded free of charge.  These e-books are available in 'txt' or 'html' format.  

We realized that it would be convenient if we crawl deep into the Internet and recommend the best of the best URL for our Classic readers to use. Our recommendation is Project Gutenberg.

Project Gutenberg, popularly called PG, is a volunteer organization dedicated to digitize , archive and distribute eBooks.  In 1971, Michael S. Hart started this digital library. PG has been recognized as the oldest digital library.
