Many classic books republished on-line (Dante, Twain, the Bronte Sisters) among others. The more accessible these texts are to the public, the better. However, the site could use some jazzing up as it is quite bland. Some pictures would be nice.
As bland as it now is, it is livelier than it was in the late 90s.
Here is Gutenberg's copy of one of Shakespeare's plays. Typed pages, could use some graphics, but I am unsure what should be used.
(the on-line books page: UPENN)
Nice writing: "Master Yang was lured to South Mountain with the help of a male cousin and left in a lonely but beautiful place. Here Cloudlet appeared in the guise of a fairy and enticed him into the pavilion. So skilful was Cloudlet's wooing that Yang 'loved her from the depths of his heart and his love was reciprocated.' A most intricate practical joke was played on Yang for many weeks."
Also bland. Long lines across the web pages. Lines should be shorter maybe with some large pictures on the side.
Perhaps because this is a childrens' book that this site is a bit better than the two above. There are pictures and teh lines are short. However, I would not have center the text and pictures. Maybe make it like stairs.
