Most of the books/series I would have nominated have already been named by others, but there's a few not listed.
William Shakespeare - Much Ado About Nothing (I am surprised he hasn't already been named, unless I missed it)
Baroness Orczy - The Scarlet Pimpernel
Agatha Christie - The Secret Adversary (one of only two freely available - the other one is The Mysterious Affair at Styles, the first Poirot)
All public domain.
Question for Ralph Sir Edward @ 23 - Where did you find the complete works of Cordwainer Smith and does it include the Quest of Three Planets series? I have been looking for those to complete my (pbook) collection without success. I had a look on Baen and I could only find We the Underpeople and When the People Fell.
