Hey guys!It is not always possible to buy a book, and there are situations when you have an electronic version is much more practical. So I found some useful sites that will help you in finding and downloading books.
1. Twirpx Library
Here you can find rare books and magazines. The subject of books in this library is incredibly wide. From fiction and entertaining novels to such narrow scientific topics as, for example, "descriptive geometry and engineering graphics." It is convenient that on the main page you will find thematic catalogs. Let's say you're interested in celebrity diaries. You will see the section "Memoirs, diaries, autobiographies", go there and wonder how many more exciting books you can read. The only disadvantage of the library – registration. To download the files, you will have to register, but no e-mail from this library will not come. The books here are still free, but download them for"points". Each book "worth" from 5 to 50 points-depending on its value. When you register, you will automatically receive 100 points – enough for the first days. What to do then? Upload your content to the library. A book or magazine that is not yet in this library. The student can upload his / her lecture notes. And with each download of your file – you will earn points. Thus, the library is constantly updated with new books. If you absolutely do not want to "work for the benefit" of the library, then when the points are over – you can just register again.
https://www.twirpx.com
2. Library Scriptorium
It is a repository of rare editions and manuscripts. If you have not found something in the previous library – then perhaps the right book is waiting for you here. And download - you can put it in the library Twirpx and earn points.
http://escriptorium.univer.kharkov.ua
3. Library Litres
Litres (like Aldebaran) is included in the list of the largest online library of e-books. The resource offers its partnership to authors and publishers, so the site is useful not only for the reader. The company "Litres" was born relatively recently (in 2005), but has already established itself, received in 2014 the prestigious Runet award. At the moment, the site of about 875,000 books in Russian and foreign languages, including more than 32,000 books can be downloaded for free. Among other things, Litres is a database of audiobooks, consisting of 10,000 materials.

The 10 Best Books of 2017 of The New York Times Book Review.

The year’s best books, selected by the editors of The New York Times Book Review.

1."Autumn" by Ali Smith

The extraordinary friendship of an elderly songwriter and the precocious child of his single-parent neighbor is at the heart of this novel that darts back and forth through the decades, from the 1960s to the era of Brexit. The first in a projected four-volume series, it’s a moving exploration of the intricacies of the imagination, a sly teasing-out of a host of big ideas and small revelations, all hovering around a timeless quandary: how to observe, how to be.      

2."Exit West" By Mohsin Hamid

A deceptively simple conceit turns a timely novel about a couple fleeing a civil war into a profound meditation on the psychology of exile. Magic doors separate the known calamities of the old world from the unknown perils of the new, as the migrants learn how to adjust to an improvisatory existence. Hamid has written a novel that fuses the real with the surreal — perhaps the most faithful way to convey the tremulous political fault lines of our interconnected planet.

3."Pschinko" By Min Jin Lee

Lee’s stunning novel, her second, chronicles four generations of an ethnic Korean family, first in Japanese-occupied Korea in the early 20th century, then in Japan itself from the years before World War II to the late 1980s. Exploring central concerns of identity, homeland and belonging, the book announces its ambitions right from the opening sentence: “History has failed us, but no matter.” Lee suggests that behind the facades of wildly different people lie countless private desires, hopes and miseries, if we have the patience and compassion to look and listen.

4. "The Power" by Naomi Alderman

Alderman imagines our present moment — our history, our wars, our politics — complicated by the sudden manifestation of a lethal “electrostatic power” in women that upends gender dynamics across the globe. It’s a riveting story, told in fittingly electric language, that explores how power corrupts everyone: those new to it and those resisting its loss. Provocatively, Alderman suggests that history’s horrors are inescapable — that there will always be abuses of power, that the arc of the universe doesn’t bend toward justice so much as inscribe a circle away from it. “Transfers of power, of course, are rarely smooth,” one character observes.

5. "Sing, Unburied, Sing" by Jesmyn Ward

In her follow-up to “Salvage the Bones,” Ward returns to the fictional town of Bois Sauvage, Miss., and the stories of ordinary people who would be easy to classify dismissively into categories like “rural poor,” “drug-dependent,” “products of the criminal justice system.” Instead Ward gives us Jojo, a 13-year-old, and a road trip that he and his little sister take with his drug-addicted black mother to pick up their white father from prison. And there is nothing small about their existences. Their story feels mythic, both encompassing the ghosts of the past and touching on all the racial and social dynamics of the South as they course through this one fractured family. Ward’s greatest feat here is achieving a level of empathy that is all too often impossible to muster in real life, but that is genuine and inevitable in the hands of a writer of such lyric imagination.

6."The Evolution of Beauty: How Darwin’s Forgotten Theory of Mate Choice Shapes the Animal World — and Us" by Richard O. Prum

If a science book can be subversive and feminist and change the way we look at our own bodies — but also be mostly about birds — this is it. Prum, an ornithologist, mounts a defense of Darwin’s second, largely overlooked theory of sexual selection. Darwin believed that, in addition to evolving to adapt to the environment, some other force must be at work shaping the species: the aesthetic mating choices made largely by the females. Prum wants subjectivity and the desire for beauty to be part of our understanding of how evolution works. It’s a passionate plea that begins with birds and ends with humans and will help you finally understand, among other things, how in the world we have an animal like the peacock.

"A room without books is like a body without a soul."-Cicero

Throughout the history of the existence of writing, for a person the book has always been a source of knowledge, wisdom, life experience, in books people could always find echoing with his own mood and thoughts. No matter whether he was sad or laughing, he always turned to his eternal, timeless friend, the book.The masterpieces of world literature defeated all the "enemies": and natural disasters, and war, and the dust of the bookshelves, in the year when they were banned or unavailable. All, but not all. Scientific progress has created an invincible enemy to eternal invariable pages, - TV. For the current generation there is no difficulty in choosing between a square and a horned noisy "box" and a book.Books are not just leaves stained with black paint, they are whole worlds, which sometimes seem to live apart from reality. Their reading helps a person to get away from their worries, get carried away with new, unknown and alluring. The book is like a little secret door, like a rabbit hole that opens a new dimension. The reader follows the fate of the characters and imbued with their experiences, learns from his mistakes, adopts his features. Since childhood, instilled in a child a love of reading, incredibly expands the boundaries of his world. New knowledge, new impressions, emotions, all this forms character, predetermines human behavior in such book situations.But only in one of the hundreds there is that coveted pearl that will enrich him, his spiritual appearance, his soul.The house of man, his home, is a reflection of himself, his habits, character features. Living in a new place, a person gives him a piece of his soul, he seems to build a small Kingdom-a fortress, where everything is subordinated to his laws of life. As a result, the house turns out to be alive, the soul of which are books.
