OMEOV Public Domain Library: 99 Classic Books by 108 Authors
This library brings together 99 public-domain works, organized into four practical themes: Adventure Picaresque Fiction, Fantasy Juvenile Worlds, Science Fiction Utopias, and Historical Psychological Social Fiction. The categories are not rigid judgments but aids for finding similar reads. Each entry notes the original author, source edition, keywords, and a catalogue note that explains the work's scope—helping you decide where to start. Three reading paths are suggested: for writing craft, begin with Stevenson's essays, then Hazlitt and Burroughs; for personal testimony, try Edgeworth's and Lane's letters; for historical views, Macaulay and Jefferson offer primary-source insight.
