Digital culture / A break from the feed
Project Gutenberg
A volunteer-built library of eBooks, and a reminder that the internet can still be a place for unhurried reading.
Why it caught our attention
Not every useful discovery needs to improve productivity. A book can give an evening a different rhythm. This long-running project also makes the care behind digital preservation visible.
Who might find it useful
Readers who want literature, history, or a quiet break away from work-related content.
Good to know
Copyright status varies by country. Check the site’s terms and the rules where you live before downloading or redistributing a work. Editions and formatting vary.
One small thing to try
