http://www.gutenberg.org/ great site, hassle free!
http://www.free-ebooks.net/ good with comments on the books
http://www.freebookspot.es/ *be careful of the junk they make you download if you aren’t paying attention
Order of books not important… Also I do not mean these are the only books worth reading (I have not put religious books in here, but knowledge in world religions is a must I think!)…
