Pretty good, but the original and stil best in many ways is of Project Gutenberg: http://www.gutenberg.org/catalog/

Since copyright laws are not uniform around the globe, you can sometimes find things on other sites which can't be hosted on the Gutenberg site. Once example is Project Gutenberg Australia, which sometimes has books which are still in copyright in the US. Not that anyone here would download anything illegally, of course. http://gutenberg.net.au/
