Audiobooks galore

I spend a lot of time commuting every week. I drive to campus 3 times a week, 20 minutes each way. I go to Rochester at least once a week, 1 hr and 15 min each way. So I listen to a lot of audio books. I find that it is the only way to make all that driving bearable. The program I usually use for downloading audio books is called audible.com. I pay $15 a month and I get 1 or 2 credits a month. I then use those credits to buy and download various audio books onto my iPod. So you can imagine my surprise when this assignment told me about LibriVox! I had no idea that there were any organizations out there that had free audio books from the public domain. This is a wonderful resource for people like me who have to commute or people who for whatever reason cannot read printed works. I am definitely going to have to download some of the Charles Dickens audio books.
