I don't have time to read read. I do audio books during my average 11 hours/week in the car. I did find one book I couldn't find elsewhere. Malignant Self Love. by Sam Vaknin. It's about Narcissistic Personality Disorder. He's a self proclaimed Narcissist and is very active in promoting his book as the definitive work on the subject. It's kind of an insiders expose on the disorder. Interesting, but only if you've some reason to be interested in the topic.

but again.. 10,000 books there. ipad app

There is a huge library of book on mobipocket http://www.mobipocket.com/freebooks/default.aspx , including a lot of Burroughs.

Unfortunately, they are in .mobi format and you have to download the free e-reader. The e-reader is good on PC, Blackberry, and a few other devices. They used to have software that would publish text files to mobi reader files.

P.S. It's been awhile, so I went to Mobi to install the reader on my new PC. It appears that Mobipocket was taken over by Amazon. I read the license agreement before installing and it is the most frightening one I have ever read. I didn't install the software.

P.S.S. I installed FBReader http://www.fbreader.org/
