Three Tools, One Reading Path
The XOIZE Public Domain Literature Library holds 95 books across four categories, from Historical Social Novels to Sea Voyages Pirate Adventures. With that many titles, the challenge is rarely finding something to read; it is deciding which book fits the time, mood, and attention you can give. The library's three tools — Book Finder, Compare Books, and Reading Tracker — each answer a different part of that question.
Book Finder helps you filter the catalog by what you already know: category, length, reading time, chapter rhythm, sentence flow, or subject. Compare Books lets you put two or three titles side by side to see how their numbers differ. Reading Tracker turns a chosen book into a daily page plan. Used together, they move you from a vague interest to a concrete reading schedule.
Start with Finder to Build a Shortlist
Begin with Book Finder when you have a general sense of what you want. Maybe you are in the mood for a Historical Social Novel, or you know you have about five hours of reading time this week. The Finder lets you set those preferences and see which books remain. Because no-preference choices do not penalize books, you can leave criteria blank and still get useful results.
The Finder also includes popularity and hidden-gem filters, which are catalog-aware rather than quality judgments. For instance, a title like Daniel Deronda — Context and Discussion (id 287) is a substantial read, but if you filter for shorter works, you might instead find a volume like "My Novel" — Volume 03 — Themes and Context (id 289), which is a fraction of the length. The Finder helps you see these options without having to browse every entry.
Use Compare to See the Trade-offs
Once you have two or three candidates, Compare Books shows their word counts, estimated reading times, text sections, sentence flow, chapter rhythm, and subjects side by side. This is where the numbers become meaningful. A book with 71 text sections, like Daniel Deronda, offers many natural stopping points, while a shorter volume with only 3 sections might require more self-discipline to pause.
Compare does not rate quality; it simply makes the differences visible. For example, if you are torn between a 25,000-word book and a 200,000-word book, the estimated reading time alone tells you the commitment. You can then decide whether you want a quick read or a longer immersion.
Finish with Tracker to Plan Your Days
After you have chosen a book, Reading Tracker helps you set a daily page goal and see how many days it will take. The tracker calculates an initial total page count from the word count, assuming 250 words per page, but you can adjust it to match your own edition. This is useful because a paperback page may hold more or fewer words than the estimate.
Progress is recorded in pages, not minutes or sections, so the plan stays simple. If you set a goal of 20 pages a day, the tracker estimates your finish date. That concrete number can make a long book feel manageable. The three tools work together: Finder narrows, Compare clarifies, and Tracker schedules.
