I just gave Steves recomended list of pd books (
http://www.stevepavlina.com/personal...ment-books.htm) a quick look, and realised that several of these are aviable for free (since there copyright is expired, in a few cases by so much as 1000 years)
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin by Benjamin Franklin - Project Gutenberg
The Art of War:
The Art of War by 6th cent. B.C. Sunzi - Project Gutenberg
The Iliad
The Iliad of Homer by Homer - Project Gutenberg
The Odyssey
The Odyssey by Homer - Project Gutenberg
I am posting these for the benefit of those of us on a limited budget - and since it was a blog post of Steves, I supposed this would be the most appropriate forum.
As a closing note gutenberg often has some really interesting old books, including Shakespear, Harrie Becker Stove, Mark Twain, Plato, Aristotle and a lot of others.
