Hypertexts @ UVA The wonderful e-text library at UVA.

(for free, ya lunkhead) They have a lot of stuff up already, and the amount available is growing all the time. Project Gutenburg is one of those bookmarks that no literate person should be without; you may not use them for months of years, but it's very nice to know that they're out there. (And I contributed The Song Book of Quong Lee, something which I'm rather proud of.)
