For those unaware, they take public domain books and create really high quality, free versions that can be read on any ereader or online. Every book also has an oil painting that is also public domain chosen to be its cover.

I have discovered a lot of amazing lesser known literature over the years from here, and wanted to suggest it in case anyone had not heard of it. The people running it do amazing work and there seems to be a steady stream of three or four new releases almost weekly.

Luckily they list estimate read times at the top of the book pages, so you can dive into some short reads to get a feel for authors and content.

I read mostly non-fiction, but if you're down for sci-fi:

H G Wells Invisible Man is a short favorite of mine.

And Edgar Rice Burroughs has a bunch of fun shorter stories, many are part of a Martian Series, which the movie John Carter was based on (one of my and my SOs fav comfort movies).
