For someone who might have missed some classics or have just decided to stop being a DUmmie... what free ebooks would you recommend?

From any source, could be from Mises "library" or from Gutenberg.

Links if you got them!

I read that a long time ago, from the local library... that was probably half my life ago

There are a number of very good online sites for FREE ebooks.

I've found good books at; http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page

and http://books.google.com/

and there are FREE ebook reader utilities that have enormous content including video, audio and ebooks such as;

Go to mobile read and look around. The deals and bargains section in their forums usually catches all the free places and the promotional deals, and they generally manage pre-release reviews on all the new electronic readers coming out.

My wife uses the Sony PRS-505

I use a smaller AZTAK Pocket Pro

Hope you find what you want.

I didn’t want to mention Hoffer’s occupation, but it was a heck of a good book. Trying to work my way thru Fragebogen. I think nobody in the universe has heard of it. Male Fantasies I and II by Thelweiter(?) are fascinating, and no they aren’t naughty sex books.

But Ayn Rand can stunt someone’s mental growth if they read her at too young an age. The simplistic theology has an appeal which is hard to see thru unless one has the perspective of age. I read it at too young an age but an older woman insisted I read it when I was 15.

Well, I guess I'm simple, then. It's okay, I've been called worse ; )

Indeed you should go to your local public library and ask about Net-Library. It is much more than just public domain books.

Here in Georgia, it is available through GALILEO.
