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!
love science fiction
This is what is so great about FReepers. They are readers!
Now if I had asked about where I can read about Colonial-era technologies....
You are quite welcome, GeronL. I’m glad that you like the site. God bless!
Enjoy!

For an interesting, readable history of Great Britain, read “Our Island Story.”
LOL! Is there a link?
parsy, who has a scientific interest
www.baen.com has their free library, and add books every now and again. David Weber and John Ringo, Eric Flint, and reprints of some classic SF.
www.google.com/books has pdf’s of scanned books from a number of large libraries. I’ve found a dozen books of stories by A. Conan Doyle, books on wood and metalcutting lathes, copperwork, steam engines, milling machines, and the sciences.
www.scribd.com has a “eclectic” collection of materials including novels, and many old books on divers subjects. I’ve found pdf’s of Walter V. Howe’s “The Modern Gunsmith vol. I & II” for example, and quite a bit of other stuff.
THANKS!!
The Baen Free Library (If you like Sci-Fi)
I just got back from Baen. I did not know they had free book downloads.
Would anyone know where one could fine books on the subject of colonial-era technology?
either.
colonial-era technology if anyone knows of any.

Some favorites are the glorious St. John Chrysostom and St. John of Damascus:

While not specifically colonial era tech, you might be interested in the 1632 series on Baen. There is some really interesting related stuff to be found at the Baen Bar.
I just saw some of those. Apparently in that particular universe those are some busy years.
thank you
Are you referring to a Kindle? I have one and LOVE it. I found hundreds of free Kindle downloads all over the internet. My Husband I and share it.
Nope. no Kindle. I am kind of interested in putting my stories on amazon for them though.
