LibriVox

I love being read to. I find listening to someone reading a book, or poetry, to me enjoyable. Especially on a dull, rainy afternoon when I have a broken leg and can do little else. LibriVox has an extensive collection of audio material in the public domain. I found a book I had read years ago, Mark Twain's "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court", and enjoyed listening to a chapter of it being read so well. You can also download the books, poems and dramatic works as a podcast which makes them portable. LibriVox would have a lot of appeal for many people, including being a source of audio books for the visually impaired.
