OK, my first nomination is the second on this one.

The second is for Charles Darwin's The Origin of the Species, available for free here on mobileread: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=10970

And the third one is simply the best nonfiction book I ever read (apart from the Yellow Pages, of course...):

Rober Graves - the Greek Myths

The title says all.

I don't know why it's been published in two e-volumes, but I suggest both of them for the book club, being one single book.
