Read a random book from the Library of Congress

I made a website that catalogs all of the out of copyright books in the Library of Congress and other libraries. It includes a search engine for titles.

There are a few other sections, like this Japanese learning app: www.locserendipity.com/jp/JP.html (for sleep learning) and continuous quiz at www.locserendipity.con/jp/Japanese.html Radio dramas: www.locserendipity.com/Radio.html Open AI song mashups: www.locserendipity.com/OA/OpenAI.html Infinite 78 rpm records: www.locserendipity.com/PushPlay.html On the main page, click “Random sections” and you will get random books, for serendipitous discovery.

I created this to make more people read old literature and appreciate old music.

You can also use search terms in google with the site delimiter to search all of those old books in one shot—a corpus of more than 30,000 book (your search site:locserendipity.com).

And you can also learn any of 16 languages with the quizzes on the main page. To hear the Google audio you need to download the HTML and run it from the desktop. Google has an unofficial translation API and it only works if you download the HTML. The Japanese version is different, and all those audio files are local.
