I like Of Mice and Men, by John Steinbeck. I don't read a lot though.

Does anyone know of a good place (internet) to download free books (legally, most likely :p) or stories? They don't have to be a big book (big as in famous) but some enjoyable literature by anyone.

Well, I was on vacation for 3 days and whilst riding in the car a lot I read Whitley Streiber's 2012: The War for Souls; it was an unbelievably good read and I would suggest it to anyone who enjoys Science-Fiction Thrillers. I enjoyed it a rather lot and it kept me riveted 'till the very end with its twists, turns, and unpredictability...

To quote Google Books:
Google Books said:
December 21, 2012, may be one of the most watched dates in history. Every 26,000 years, earth lines up with the exact center of our galaxy. At 11: 11 on December 21, 2012, this event happens again, and the ancient Maya calculated that it would mark the end, not only of this age, but of human consciousness as we know it. But what will actually happen? The end of the world? A new age for mankind? Nothing?

The last time this happened, Cro-Magnon man suddenly began creating great art in the caves of southern France, which to this day remains one of the most inexplicable changes in human history.

Now Whitley Strieber explores 2012 in a towering work of fiction that will astound readers with its truly new insights and a riveting roller-coaster ride of a story. A mysterious alien presence unexpectedly bursts out of sacred sites all over the world and begins to rip human souls from their bodies, plunging the world into chaos it has never before known.

Courage meets cowardice, loyalty meets betrayal as an entire world struggles to survive this incredible end-all war. Heroes emerge, villains reveal themselves, and in the end something completely new and unexpected happens that at once lifts the fictional characters into a new life, and sounds a haunting real-world warning for the future.

esb, to answer your question about books online: Looking up books on Google Books might be something like what you want. You can often preview the books by reading a chapter or so that is uploaded as a .pdf.

You can see if you like the book, and if you do you might be able to find it a bookstore near you or order it from Amazon.com. It's not free, but you won't end up spending money on books you're not sure if you'll like or not.

And I'm sure there are probably a ridiculous amount of books to look through, so you would be able to find non-mainstream books too.

I'm not a huge fantasy reader, so I've always disliked the Chronicles of Narnia.

Alright so if you aRe a huge fan of fantasy than you'd love Chronicles of Narnia. It's written as well as any book and the vision and everything is amazing.

I pretty much only read fantasy and I couldn't bring myself to go beyond the first book in The Chronicles of Narnia series. And really, I don't remember all that much about the first one, except for the beginning which I found to be more interesting than Narnia.

QFT means Quoted For Truth.

By the way, I'm a huge fan of fantasy and I don't like the Chronicles of Narnia.

Yes, I am definitely a fan of both the Ender series and Harry Potter.

My favorite books though, are Agathe Christie's books.. The ones with the detective Hercule Poirot. They are very entertaining!

Anyone read the Sword of Truth series? (Terry Goodkind)
