Try Gutenberg's Project. They stored stories that their copyrights no longer holds. You can read up Frankenstein, the Theory of Relativity or any old books you can think of there. JUst search for it at google.

The dudes at the wiki projects have this particular sister site called "wikibooks":

http://en.wikibooks.org

These are "books" co-written by its contributors, and you can find some surprisingly good material in there.

Not very related, but also very good read are the wikiquote and wikisource:

Go read up Lincoln's classic gettysburg address, Malaysia's constitution, Kennedy's second inaugural address, or George Carlin's hilarious quotes. You will spend hours there, like what always happens in Wikipedia:
