This is a completely unofficial list of the Project Gutenberg electronic texts. Most of these texts are in the public domain; all have extensive legal "small print" at the top. The links on this page point back to the "official" sources at UIUC, which are in plain ASCII format. There are some marked-up (in html) versions of a few of these texts floating around; as I find them, and after I figure out how to best point to the various archives, they'll show up in this list.
I created this list basically for my own use, since I didn't like decyphering the cryptic few-letter filenames the Gutenberg folks like to give their texts. I do follow the Gutenberg newsletter, so I see their announcements of new e-texts, and I try to update this list as quickly as possible. I must admit, however, that lately my net access hasn't been very good. My apologies.
Since I started this list, I have seen some other meta-lists of electronic texts. None were organized as I liked them, so I've kept this up. I don't know what the future will bring, maybe somebody from Gutenberg or another project will undertake to systematically catalog all literature available on the web.
I'd love to hear feedback about these pages.
