library genesis has a very expansive collection of ebooks from several genres, both fiction and nonfiction. also has loads of college textbooks if you're a uni guy.
I'd like to add the Gutenberg Project, though that's for public-domain books. But I think you'll find a crapton there that isn't available elsewhere, if you're looking for classics/really old or esoteric stuff.
Also, I think public libraries might have an e-book borrowing system now? Beyond inter-library book borrowing, that is (where you can order a title from pretty much anywhere, if you don't mind waiting for a physical copy of a book).
Gutenberg is my go-to option. Obviously older stuff primarily, but avoids any potential legal quandaries and/or super-sketchy sites due to sticking to public domain stuff.
I've yet to find one that isn't sketchy as hell. Sometimes typing the name of the book with "pdf" in a search engine will find you a copy.
Beyond that most books I have I think I found in a "Great Books Collection" torrent many years back as well as some books collections I found on /pol/ (Search for "Zundel's Bunker" on 4plebs)
Just the first /his/tory link has about 150 GB of books. I wouldn't be surprised if there's over 1 TB of books in that comment (including a disproportionate amount of history of Nazi Germany; it is /pol/ after all).

This is the answer. It's rare I can't find something and I do read quite a lot.
Comics are books. lol
tbf he was asking for that
69 is my favorite issue.

Depending on where the OP is, inter-library borrowing may be suspended.

That's a good way to catch a Trojan.
The OS-es I run are esoteric enough I don't worry about that too much, but yes some of the sites are sketchy as hell.
Here's one.

Use IRC. The channel #bookz on undernet.org is where to go. Watch the people/bots posting for a minute and how it works should be easy to figure out.
