Librivox

I found the greatest thing the other day. Well, greatest if you happen to love reading classic literature and need audio books to listen to.

There is a site called Librivox, and it is a collection of books in the public domain that have been recorded by volunteers. It's awesome. I've been listening to them a LOT while I'm sewing or working out... so nice.

Pros: Free books to listen to online or download to your ipod

Cons: At the beginning of each chapter, the reader announces the book, chapter, author and a message from Librivox. This recording doesn't bother me, but I can see how it might annoy some people.

Anyways, try it out. (If you want to download it right to Itunes, search for 'librivox' in podcasts. Each chapter is an episode, so make sure to download them all)

a few I would suggest:
The Count of Monte Cristo - or anything by Dumas
Photobucket
