Book freak in need of free reading material?

Question

I seriously need some reading material. I don't have a lot of money to buy books. Does anybody have a suggestion on where i can get some free books that are worth reading?

the library will work, but i don't know if i can finish some books in the time period specified. :s

Answer 1

I don't know about actual books, but Project Gutenberg has plenty of free material online.

Answer 2

I'll echo everyone else--the library. You can renew the books unless you have a really hot item that others want, and thereby extend your reading period. Most libraries do give you 2-3 weeks at a time (a few small ones may only give a week). A renewal will give you a month at least.
Also check with your library if they sell any 2nd-hand books. Many have a "Friends" organization that will have a booksale. Or hit any garage sale/thrift store as mentioned above to buy; used book stores are nice, but they won't have paparbacks for a quarter.
As for whether those books will be any good, well, that's up to you to decide.

My library has books you can download for free on a mp3 player or regular cd discs, a great idea, l really enjoy listening to audio books on my way to work, if you wanted to buy an audio book at a book store, you would be surprised at how much they cost. The library is your best bet, if you do not read a book on time, you can renew it on the computer, easy enough!!, l mentioned the audio books in case you were interested in them as well. All the books in the library are free, they even have sales sometimes, where you can buy the books by the bag full for a dollar, wonderful !!

Answer 4

Try the laundromat and places like that. My mom has gotten tons of books (a surprising amount of good ones, too) from her apartment building's laundry room, though they have a "free stuff" box, which helps. Check out Salvation Army-like stores, where you can get books for change you'd find in your couch cushions. Oh yeah, and there's tons of stuff to read for free online. People vanity-publish their stuff all the time, and while a lot of it is crap, some of it is pretty good (and you can tell right away what's what). Happy reading!

Answer 5

You could go to yard sales, or flea markets. Sometimes you can get a box or crate of books from 50 cents to just a few dollars.

Or, you could visit your local library and get a card. Then you can check out any books you want.

Another thing you could do is go hang out at Barnes and Noble. They have big comfy chairs.

Answer 6

The library.

Answer 7

Project Gutenburg or Google Books.

The public library - I can AFFORD books, but I still go to the library!

Answer 8

in case you do no longer techniques toddler's lit (which i think of Phantom Tollbooth and Alice would desire to be seen in a manner), i prefer to advise one million/2 Magic by making use of Edward prepared. it incredibly is approximately 4 little ones that discover an historic talisman that would grant desires yet one million/2 of its potential is long gone. it incredibly is a relaxing e book that made me fall in love with interpreting as a toddler. in case you have by no potential examine The Hobbit, it too may well be a relaxing examine (its sequel Lord of the jewelry is a lot extra serious in tone, nevertheless i like it).
