Thanks. Never heard of Librivox.

Sounds like a great resource. The audio CDs that libraries offer are cumbersome and not as convenient as you might think.

Car radio shows can be entertaining, but you are stuck with a ton of advertisements.

This Librivox sounds like the perfect alternative.

Yeah, I mean sometimes you just want to yell at the radio D*mnit! Quit interrupting my LifeLock broadcasting with this "Rush Limbaugh" guy!

(I don't listen to Limbaugh anymore, but I do remember that the commercial to info ratio was getting pretty absurd last time I did.)

Librivox appears to be part of, or associated with, archive.org, which is a great source in general.

If you go to archive.org and put in an author or title, it will show you all of the downloadable formats they have available - text, audio, video.

In my experience their search system is kind of clumsy, so if you don’t find what you want (assuming it is something that would be there in the first place, in the public domain, under Creative Commons license, etc.) - try searching in different ways.
