I've been using some free online books recently; it's fantastic to be able to access them so painlessly. Some of the websites are listed below. Interesting site from UCC: CELT, Corpus of Electronic Texts, for those interested in Irish culture and literature. The last site in the list has an amazing amount and range of information relating to English literature; the forums are well worth browsing through.

Add Internet Archive to that - covers all, I think. You will find many more or less forgotten Anglo-Irish writers there. Allingham, Aubrey De Vere, Ferguson, Katherine Tynan etc etc.
