So many books, so little time. :(

Anybody got any public domain read suggestions/recommendations?

    I just tried with an old book and with a modern novel: tom Sawyer and Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn.

    Found Twain's book, but only in PDF, and didn't find Flynn's.

    Hathi is a good step but in countries like mine where piracy is not disturbed I guess that ed2k works better.

    No wonder you haven't found Gone Girl. It is a new(ish) book.

    yeah will need to wait 70 years after the author dies.
