Project Exploring the Internet: Day 6

28 degrees right now.... BRRRRRRRR

We're going to be trick-or-treating in 3 weeks in our winter clothes. We won't need costumes. LOL

So when it's too cold to do much outside (there is no snow yet), what is there to do?

You could read.

You've probably read all of the books on your shelf though right? There is a large library of free books to read online.

Over the summer I had wondered if there were books online, so I started to research it and found some sites. Over the last couple days here, I have enhanced that search and came up with some places to find online books and some pretty good books as well:

_____________________________

Scribd - Scribd has a lot of free books to read but it has so much more than just books. It has coloring pages and worksheets for kids, recipes, magazines, various documents, and writings by their members.

A book from Scribd.com:
Lakes and Sea Monsters

Online Books from UPenn - This site has over 35,000 free books.

Books I plan to read from UPenn:
Indian Life and Indian History, The life, history and travels of Kah-ge-ga-gah-bowh, The traditional history and characteristic sketches of the Ojibway nation

Project Gutenberg - It has a large catalog of books and great search methods. You can search by top 100 all time, top 100 yesterday, authors, and also by titles.

Popular books from Gutenberg:

Classic Book Library - It doesn't let you search by author or title but it does by genre. It doesn't have as many books as the other sites.

A popular book from the Classic Book Library:

FullBooks.com - Full Books has many many free books. The problem with this site is that there is no search engine. You simply have to click on the A’s or B’s to search for book titles that start with those letters.

My picks from Full Books:
20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Old Indian Days, Old Indian Legends

Authorama - Not a lot of books and one can only search by authors but it has some nice books.

My picks from Authorama:
Wau-Bun, Indian Heroes by Charles Eastman

Bored.com - I'm not real excited about how they allow you to search for books but the site looks good. They have some interesting books for kids.

A book I'm curious about from Bored.com:
Among the Sioux

Popular books from Fiction.us:
Little Women, Wuthering Heights
