Someone above mentioned libgen, which is pretty good. Another good source, but one that is too confusing to explain in a comment here, is the bookz channel on irc. There are likely guides if you search for it. I’d only go that route if you really can’t find it elsewhere.

Holy shit, people are still doing IRC dcc?

Yep and it feels pretty dated. Using libgen is much easier. Using your local library is much easier and you get to show your library / local govt that the library is getting used.
