Project Gutenberg. All you need to know.
There is a wealth of books there, in many languages in addition to English. All free.
Some recs:
Anything by Charles Dickens, maybe in particular A Tale of Two Cities.
Boswell's biography of Samuel Johnson.
Mark Twain's A Tramp Abroad
Moby Dick by Melville (this is an awesome, yet very long book)
A History of the Plague in London, by Daniel Defoe
You may think you know some of these, but reading the original book is more entertaining and interesting than any synopsis or Hollywood movie based on the novel.
