So, copyright laws are pretty complicated and they've changed a lot and vary from country to country. In the US, anything published before 1923 no longer has a copyright, so it's in the public domain now. Most works published between 1923 and 1963 are also in the public domain, because their copyright had to be renewed in its 28th year and most authors didn't renew. Most books written after 1964 are still copyrighted.
Anyway, that means there's a ton of public domain books out there for free. Some of them are those things you were forced to read in high school, but some are really good. I'm working on a list here.
