Its no surprise that the paragraph mark placement in .txt books was irritating. After using a "find and replace" of all .txt paragraph marks with spaces, and then another "find and replace" to insert double paragraph marks after all periods (.) on about 3 books, I finally went to Guttenburg and just downloaded all the .txt books in epub format.

At the risk of sounding repetitious, you might want to check out the books available right here on Mobileread. They are the same titles as at Project Gutenberg, but lovingly formatted. Tables of content, illustrations, italics, proper spelling and encoding and already converted into many formats. Compare one of HarryT's books with the same book from Gutenberg and you'll see what I mean.
Click on Html next to Full List, and you'll get a fully searchable list of the library.
