I must be a little slow on the uptake. I just found out about a site called Project Gutenberg, and it contains downloadable versions of pretty much all the great literature that's ever been written. Mark Twain, Bill Shakespeare, Lewis Carroll (and also Tenniel's original illustrations for Alice in Wonderland), this site has a huge collection of works that are now out of copyright and many copyright works for which the author has given permission to download.
I think it was American or Tai Chi (I may be mistaken, it may have been someone else entirely) who was recently whining about copyrights and how great it would be if everything was free. So, whoever that was, here's your opportunity to download a lifetime's supply of reading for no charge.
As for the site's name "Project Gutenberg", I have it on good authority that Steve Guttenberg was so appalled at the quality of the script for "Police Academy 4 - Citizens on Patrol" that he made it his life's work to create a place where the average person could get his hands on first rate, well written literature, like the script for "Police Academy 2 - Their First Assignment".
