Do more with this book catalog
The EQOPI Public Domain Literature Library holds 93 works of fiction, arranged in four categories that span historical and social fiction, adventure and picaresque tales, fantasy and juvenile worlds, and science fiction and utopias. The collection leans heavily on short stories, with many volumes gathering several pieces by one author or around a shared setting. Use the tools below to explore the catalog by subject, compare books side by side, or plan your reading time.
Each book page includes details such as word count, estimated reading minutes, number of sections, and average sentence length. These figures can help you choose what to read next, whether you want a quick story or a longer commitment. The catalog also offers several ways to search: by category, by subject, or by length and time. The tools on this page are designed to make those choices easier.

Ways the catalog data becomes useful
Compare Books
Place up to three books side by side. Compare word counts, reading times, sections, sentence length, and subjects to see which one suits you.
Reading Time
Estimate how long it will take to read any book in the catalog. Use median reading speeds and the book's own word count to plan your sessions.
Choosing, Comparing, and Tracking Your Reading
The EQOPI Public Domain Literature Library holds 93 books, and the collection leans heavily on short-story volumes. Four categories divide the catalog, yet the categories are broad enough that they only narrow the field so far. The tools on this page—Book Finder, Compare Books, and Reading Tracker—are designed to work together, each answering a different question you might have before or during a read.
Start with Book Finder
Book Finder helps you sort through the catalog using criteria like category, length, estimated reading time, chapter rhythm, sentence flow, and subject. For instance, if you know you want a collection of American short stories from the 20th century, you can filter by that subject and then narrow further by how much time you have. The Finder does not rate quality; it simply surfaces options that match your stated preferences.
A good first step is to use the Finder to create a shortlist of three or four candidates. Because the catalog has 93 books, the Finder can shrink the field quickly. Once you have a shortlist, move to Compare Books to see the differences side by side.
Refine with Compare Books
Compare Books lets you place two or three selected books next to each other and view their word counts, estimated reading times, text sections, sentence flow, chapter rhythm, subjects, and page counts when available. These metrics are descriptive, not evaluative. A book with a higher sentence-flow value is not better or worse; it simply has longer sentences on average, which can affect pacing.
For example, The Emperor of Elam, and other stories — Story, Setting & Ideas (id 287) has a word count of about 101,572 and an estimated reading time of 442 minutes, while a shorter volume like Mogens, and Other Stories — Context and Discussion (id 222) runs about 31,552 words and 138 minutes. Seeing those numbers together can help you decide which fits your available time and attention.
Plan with Reading Tracker
Once you have chosen a book, Reading Tracker helps you plan your progress. It records pages, not minutes or sections, so you set a daily page goal and see how many days are left. The tracker uses a default of 250 words per page to estimate total pages if the catalog does not provide one, and you can adjust that to match your own edition.
Using the tracker with a book like The Emperor of Elam, and other stories — Story, Setting & Ideas (id 287) would mean roughly 407 pages at 250 words per page. At a 20-page daily goal, that is about 21 days of reading. The three tools together—Finder to choose, Compare to confirm, Tracker to pace—give you a practical path from browsing to finishing.
