Try a Kindle paper white reader - it blows away the generic electronic
devices for reading. After using one for a bit, you will find yourself
tapping a page in a real book and wondering why the page isn't turning . . .
As Rick pointed out, the number of free classics is overwhelming.

I started it and it was OK.  Life intervened, and it’s still waiting for me to 
finish.

An Amazon Kindle and Project Guttenberg are your friends, then. 
You may try Project Guttenberg Australia also, and The Internet Archive. All 
wonderful sources of books and information.

I try to do at least 2/month.  Sometimes it’s 1, sometimes it’s 4.  I can’t
remember the last time I read 5 in a month.  I tried the electronic book
thing on my iPad and couldn’t stand it.  I also do all kinds of books.  I am
a huge fan of the classic literature from the 17th and 18th centuries.
Shakespeare is great, but only in small doses for me.  The Lonesome Dove
books were, IMHO, fantastic, as is most of the Stephen King’s books.  For
those of you who have not read it, 11-22-63 is a MUST if you like that sort
of thing.

Mostly it;s history, and it doesn’t matter where or when.  Shelby Foote’s
narrative history of the Civil War is, again IMHO, a masterpiece.  It should
be required reading in order to graduate from high school.  In fact, I was
rummaging in the barn attic looking for that trilogy this past week.  It’s
about time for me to re-read it for the 3rd time.

Best,

Jon

PS:  That does not count the countless books and articles I read pertaining
to our MB’s and my old wooden boat.  Last week I translated a 6 page article
about the Zenith 35/40 INAT from German to English.  Four years of HS and 2
in college and it’s still “night güt.”  Google translator is a wonderful
thing, and I found myself remembering many phrases and words as I did it.
