I'm currently trying to get better at reading and am doing that by accumulating a library of public domain books, since they're free and easily available.

If you have a specific work you love that was published pre-1928, or is currently not under copyright, feel free to comment it down below.
if you have any authors you think are worth reading, also post them below.

I'm currently reading Jack London's "War of the Classes", and I have "Carmilla" by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu, and "The Picture of Dorian Gray" by Oscar Wilde downloaded for later.

I really enjoyed reading Around The World in 80 Days, or whatever it's called.
