Re: German resources
Another good source of free German ebooks is Mobileread. Lately most of the epub uploads to https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forum ... .php?f=130 actually seem to be in German. You can download without registering.

Brian Smith's German Readers (with freely-downloadable audio)
This series of elementary through intermediate German-English dual readers is frequently mentioned in logs and blogs. While searching his website earlier today, I discovered that there have been two additions to the series since my last visit:
(a) German Easy Reader 2, and
(b) German Power Reader, Super Grammar, German - English.
Brian Smith website
http://www.briansmith.de/
It is quite possible that I had not previously noted the "Die ferne Zeit" section of Brian Smith's website which, while there is no accompanying explanation, seems to be a list of Brian's personal recommendations for further reading in German. Although I have not taken the time to check, it is possible that the audio for a few of these recommended books is available on Librivox.

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Gottfried_Seume
The study of Shaftesbury and Bolingbroke wakened his interest in theology, and, breaking off his studies, he set out for Paris. On the way he was seized by Hessian recruiting officers and sold to England, whereupon he was drafted to Canada.
After his return in 1783 he deserted at Bremen, but was captured and brought to Emden; a second attempt at flight also failed. In 1787, however, a citizen of Emden became surety for him to the amount of 80 talers, and he was allowed to visit his home. He did not return, but paid off his debt in Emden with the remuneration he received for translating an English novel.
He taught languages for a time in Leipzig, and became tutor to a Graf Igelstrom, whom, in 1792, he accompanied to Warsaw. Here he became secretary to General von Igelstrom, and, as a Russian officer, experienced the terrors of the Polish insurrection (Kościuszko Uprising). In 1796 he was again in Leipzig and, resigning his Russian commission, entered the employment of the publisher Göschen.
In December 1801, he set out on his famous nine months' walk to Sicily, described in his Spaziergang nach Syrakus (1803).

Rechtschreibprüfung - I recommend it, as it really helps in writing by finding grammatical errors in the text.
