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 Uncensored... Books That Were Banned:
  1. Babbitt - Sinclair Lewis
  2. Candide - Voltaire
  3. Lady Chatterley's Lover - D.H. Lawrence
  4. Leaves of Grass - Walt Whitman
  5. Madame Bovary - Gustave Flaubert
  6. Moll Flanders - Daniel Defoe
  7. Sons and Lovers - D.H. Lawrence
  8. Jungle - Upton Sinclair
  9. Metamorphosis and Other Stories - Franz Kafka
  10. The Scarlet Letter - Nathaniel Hawthorne
  11. Uncle Tom's Cabin - Harriet Beecher Stowe
  12. Women in Love - D.H. Lawrence
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.
