where can i read a book by any author (preferably louis sachar) online if there's such thing as that?

Question: because i would buy it, but i just want to check if i can simply read it online

Answer: There are dozens of websites where you can read full books online. Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/ is probably the largest, but there are a lot more including Arthur's Classic Novels, Classic Bookshelf, East of the Web (short stories), the Baen Free Library and Page by Page Books. You can find a reasonably extensive list of these sites with links at: http://www.nku.edu/~gregoryj/lit/txtsrc.shtml With the exception of the Baen Free Library, the sites above contain mostly older works that have fallen into the public domain. For newer copyrighted books, try your local library. Many libraries are now using a service called OverDrive to provide their patrons with downloadable ebooks, audiobooks, music and video. If your library has the service, you only need a library card to use it from home, and library cards are free. As an OverDrive administrator in a public library, I know that several Louis Sachar books are available for purchase as downloadable audiobooks. Check with your local library to see if they have OverDrive. If not, ask them to get it. They may do so if they think their patrons want the service. If they already have OverDrive, ask if they have anything by Louis Sachar. If not, ask them to purchase the books. Personally, I purchase most of the titles my patrons ask for. ---------- Librarian, Ask Why Ky http://askwhyky.org Free 24/7 Answer Service for Kentucky Librarians--Ask Us, We Answer!
