I will do a search for free stuff, though.<br /><br />Winesburg, Ohio sounds interesting.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04850745429509147652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19749184.post-78856365000405588842012-12-13T13:34:54.172-06:002012-12-13T13:34:54.172-06:00For what it's worth, most of the older classic...For what it's worth, most of the older classics, because they are in the public domain, can be found for free--they might not be in Kindle format, per se, but they should be in a format that the Kindle could read. <br /><br />Moby Dick by Herman Melville -- can be tough going at times, but definitely one of the classics. I loved it the last time I read it (which was back in college). <br /><br />Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson -- I don't remember much except that I liked it, and it's about a small town in Ohio that I grew up just down the road from.<br /><br />The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain -- some have called it THE American classic.<br /><br />Sherckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15365366144078711301noreply@blogger.com
