About

ReadAClassic is a side project with one goal: help people actually finish classic novels they always meant to read.

Each book is paginated like a real book, typeset for comfort, and accompanied by a short, friendly note on every page. The companion explains archaic words, social customs, and the occasional reference that might trip up a modern reader. It isn't literary analysis; it's the friend reading alongside you who can answer "wait, who's that again?".

Companion notes are AI-generated and reviewed for quality. If you spot one that's off, hit the thumbs-down — it genuinely helps.

All source texts come from Project Gutenberg, the volunteer effort that has been digitising public-domain literature since 1971.
