Emerson's "Self-Reliance" is not generally classified as fiction. Nor is Thoreau's "Civil Disobedience".
Thoreau was an essayist. He doesn't belong in fiction.
Are you allowed to put regular books in here like the DaVinci Code?
- Generally no. The titles here should be public domain stuff that we can actually add to wikisource. --CSN 22:08, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
Isn't "If" a poem? Shouldn't it go with poetry?
- It is. I've removed it from here. --illy 9 February 2006
Since Midnight's Children (Salman Rushdie) has still decade's to go before coming into the public domain, I'm going to remove it from this listing. --illy 10 February 2006
