"Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend.  Inside of a dog it's too 
dark to read." -- Groucho Marx

The Books tab above will let you search through the offline catalog 
of Project Gutenberg, an Internet repository of free etexts featuring 
books in many languages.  The catalog used contains 28,595 titles 
from Project Gutenberg and Project Gutenberg Australia.  The catalog 
is current as of January 29, 2009.  For titles added after that date you 
should visit http://www.gutenberg.org.

To find a book, type one or more words that would be in the author's
name or the title, then press Enter.  The list will only include books 
that match all the words, so use fewer words to make the list longer 
and more words to shorten the list.   If an author goes by his initials 
(like H.G. Wells, P.G. Wodehouse, or E.E. Smith) you may need to try
both the initials and the complete first name to get every title 
available.  If you use a well known author's name like "Shakespeare" 
you will get titles both by and about him.

To download the book select it in the list and press the download button 
next to the search box.

Press the Escape key or click the 'X' button to hide the search results table 
and start reading.
