This is the 100 most popular downloads on gutenberg.org. I was inspired by the Reddit post by u/hackeryarn at: https://www.reddit.com/r/books/comments/doodup/chronologicallistofthetop100freeclassic/ …which in turn was inspired by u/Chtorr at: https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeEBOOKS/comments/9vy4oa/thetop100freeclassicebooksfromproject/ You can duplicate this list and use it to keep track of the books you read, and share the list with others.
