Free(ish) book

To celebrate the seventh birthday of Neil Gaiman's blog on 9 February, Harper Collins decided to offer the complete text of one of his books, online, for free.

Visitors were given the opportunity to choose which one book would be made available, and after 26,551 votes, the unexpected (by Mr. G & the publishers) winner was 'American Gods', with 28% of the vote. It's now online.

Note that this isn't a free download – Harper Collins aren't insane – it's an opportunity to read the entire book online, via their website's 'browse inside' facility, and (initially) it's only available for a month. Bookmark it and get reading now or, even better, buy your own copy.
