Reading books online in Swedish

Is it possible?

It's pretty easy to find a host of free books to read online in English but I can never seem to find any in Swedish. Want to keep improving my Swedish but it would be good to have access to certain books I've read already in English so I sort of know what's going on without too much effort. Be awesome to get the Larsson books online in Swedish but maybe that's a bit too much to ask.

I think maybe I am just using the wrong search words. Anyone know any sites?

If you have a swedish library card, or can get access to one, you will have plenty of swedish books available for free (and legally).

I believe it varies a lil bit between the libraries wich books they offer, but my local one at for example has all the millenium trilogy (guessing those are the ones you refered to).

Cheers guys

Library would be a good idea but the reason I ask is I am currently out of Sweden for a while. There's only so many times I can try and read the one (bad) deckare that I have. Looks like it's back to news websites and bad Swedish blogs to keep things alight!

Good luck with it all-Swedish isn't easy to learn.

One random book I looked at gutenberg has this text in the header:
Project Runeberg publishes free digital editions of Nordic literature. Learn more at http://runeberg.org/
