Can you recommend some sites where I can read storybook for free?
Preferable if they have segregation based on romance, mystery, thriller...
I want a site where they show books like in a catalog. Separate columns for romance, mystery, thriller... So that I can choose from that catalogue.

@Shivram59 Wow. That's great. Do you do some weekly cleaning or something. How do you take care of so many books? I keep them in a bookshelf , fully covered, still when I take them out, I get allergies from the dust accumulated.

I use this site to read books online for free. I even wrote a book or two on the site! They are sorted into which category they are, romance, thriller, fantasy.
Enjoy!

There is a library here in Israel, well it is a book store, but you can read online a book but you have to "check it out" first, and it as an expiration date that it will disappear from your account. I did this and forgot to read the whole thing before it expired. Now I have to "check it out "again or buy it.

The Internet Archive was hacked, I think it had a vast online selection of books but that also pissed off some people due to copyright infringement. I would have suggested that site otherwise. 
But hopefully they'll be able to recover from the cyber attack.

Yes. Internet Archive is down. But it didn't have the segregation I am wanting.
