Free Classics from B&N (nook)


Barnes and Noble is continuing their free Classics in the B&N Free Library this week, with a new set of free classics. This weeks theme is 12 Enduring Stories of Romance and Passion:
  1. Age of Innocence by Edith Wharton
  2. Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
  3. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte
  4. Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Choderlos de Laclos
  5. Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
  6. My Antonia by Willa Cather
  7. Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
  8. Persuasion by Jane Austen
  9. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
  10. Room with a View by E. M. Forster
  11. Wives and Daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell
  12. Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte
These editions are not exactly the same as you would find at Gutenberg; Barnes and Noble Classic Series editions generally have been more carefully proofread and have introductions and scholarly notes inserted in the beginning to aid in understanding the text. If you are building a summer reading list for a student, stocking up for lit classes in college or just want to revisit the classics, these are a great (free) resource.These are DRM'd epubs, though, so will only be readable on a nook or one of the B&N reader apps.
