TheWalkingMan Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Recently I discovered this website http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/ which has tons of Free Audio Books from the public domain. The list is pretty big and most of the books are pretty old but enjoyable. Just the thing to listen to in the evening with your headphones on in the evening while kicking back in the city or in the countryside. I listened to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and some Science Fiction stuff. For the more cerebral you have choices from The Art of War by Sun Tzu to The Iliad by Homer. It's all there. I unfortunately discovered is that there can be an occasion, this only happened to me once, when just part one of a short story anthology has been uploaded and you are left to scramble around looking for the conclusion. I found the remaining parts, but just in text. So, if you see a story marked as part 1, make sure you can find part 2 and the conclusion. Also here http://librivox.org/ These guys have tons also, but presumably some of the books here are uploaded into the other link above. If you have some spare time along with a nice speaking voice, librivox could always use readers to help increase their library of books. Practically, this means they record books published before 1923. Hope this post was useful for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
