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.

    I see you’ve already found Jack London. I remember enjoying White Fang a lot as a kid, though it’s been a while since I read it so I’m not 100% certain how well it holds up.

      I remember reading “Call of the Wild” and “To Build a Fire” a long time ago and those both have stuck with me. It was only when looking him up again that I discovered he’d written all 3.

      Anything else of his you’d specifically recommend?
