I spent years putting thousands of out of copyright books on bit torrent sites.

You can find free stuff on the great philosophers, history and on and on. Surprises like Stephen Leacock are out there.

Even The 52 volume Harvard Classics are public domain, and a searchable pdf collection is available.
All the old collections of U.S. Founding Fathers letters and writings, classical lit, Burke, Bastiat, Says, and Montesquieu.

Thanks very much for these links. I will look into Torrent. I've heard of it but never figured it out.

You can also download iTunes and listen to hours of quality lectures on iTunes University and Podcasts for free. I have leared a ton in recent years while driving or working around the house, with no effort on my part.
We wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
