Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) - a site containing more than 100,000 free online books in various languages ^_^. Especially, it allows to access the raw texts from books for further processing (e.g. book summarization - a very interesting research direction which has been underestimated so far).
