• My friend Dawn (aka: ladydusk over there in the links) found a really neat site:  LibriVox, which "provides free audiobooks from the public domain."

  Everything's recorded by volunteers, meaning the quality will be
  uneven.  For instance, I'd skip the reading of Browning's "My Last
  Duchess."  How that man managed to make such a dark poem sound so
  drab, beats me, but he did.

  There's certainly a wide range of material available, from some Agatha
  Christie (public domain? really?) to - I got this straight from their
  front page - "The Romance of Rubber", courtesy of the United States
  Rubber Company.
