The Baen free library.

I'm rather partial to David Webers stuff myself.

Cattle die, kinsmen die
You too one day shall die
I know a thing that will never die
Fair fame of one who has earned it.

And of course, if you want classics and don't mind plain text, the place to be is Project Gutenberg.

Literally thousands of classics, several obscure works, all published before 1923 (when copyright laws were implemented).
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,
and is traveled by dark feet and dark wings.

Thanks I've not got the budget to get new books and this is what the sad, can't-read English major needs.
Psst! Hey you, you like... book? (Offsite Link)
If you're searching the lines for a point, well you've probably missed it; there was never anything there in the first place.

Here's another.

I've only just started to explore it, but the array is fairly dizzying - lots of titles in Spanish and Portuguese as well, and all in PDF and various e-reader formats.
To go in the dark with a light is to know the light.
To know the dark, go dark. Go without sight,
and find that the dark, too, blooms and sings,

All Romance Books has a large section of free reads (sorry for the thread resurrection, I just wanted to keep all the freebies in one place)
