Project Gutenberg book recs!

[coraa]

I'm going on a weekend trip to Tahoe this week, and it's going to be my first chance to actually use the Kindle for one of the purposes for which I bought it: being able to travel without hauling my body weight in books along with me. To that end, I'm hunting down out-of-copyright books I can upload to it before I go.

So: recommend me things! Ideally either things that are already available on Project Gutenberg, or that are otherwise available freely online (plain text, html, .doc or.pdf all work, although pdfs with tons of images or really odd formatting sometimes transfer weirdly), and I'll upload them and take a look. :D I will give anything a shot, but I am particularly fond of medieval literature, Regency and Victorian social novels, and fantasy, mythology and folklore of all stripes.

(A specific request to people who are familiar with Trollope: I read The Eustace Diamonds and really liked it -- got any suggestions for what to try next?)

All righty! Manybooks.net also has a lot of books. I downloaded the entire Jane Austen works for my eReader, and they also have lots of other stuff in the public domain. I just checked and they have them in Kindle format too. Which I would bet you've read already but you might as well put them on if you have space, right? :)

Hurrah! I'd actually been looking to get some Austen on my reader, and that's much simpler than converting Gutenberg HTML. :)

I would like to take another moment to reiterate that you are awesome for pointing me to this site. They also have Trollope and The Forme of Cury and The Golden Bough. Hurrah!
