Free Books From LibriVox

When my brother-in-law was in town a few weeks ago, he told me about LibriVox, and I thought I should pass it on.



In short, LibriVox provides free audio versions of public domain books. The site allows you to download directly or you can subscribe to a book via iTunes. For more information, read the words in the blockquote below or just visit the site.
About LibriVox

LibriVox is a hope, an experiment, and a question: can the net harness a bunch of volunteers to help bring books in the public domain to life through podcasting?
