Ask HN: What public domain books are worth reading?
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoPretty much anything by Mark Twain. Even the crap because in context it is amazing. The man who wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (a great book that is racist[although the racism is not central to its purpose]) and The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn(one of the best condemnations of racism in my opinion) also wrote Tom Sawyer abroad (where Tom, Huck, and Jim go on a balloon trip around the world)
- bryanrasmussen 8y agoalso could look here for some https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18211674 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18211674 on edit: although most not public domain there are some in there.
