you can really further your education... i like the Great Courses from The Teaching Company... some courses are very expensive, but they all go on sale at least once a year... you can always find a few good ones at excellent prices... courses in literature, science, history, art, music... etc, etc... to simply listen, i highly recommend selections from NAXOS audio... wonderful selection... it all depends on what type of education you want... would you like to listen to the classics? or books by Ayn Rand, Mark Twain, Jane Austin? audio is a good and practical way to go about getting those books in! choose books you've always wanted to read but never got around to... if we were in a Fahrenheit 451 situation and i had to memorize just one book, i would choose Victor Hugo's Les Miserables... aside from THEE greatest story ever told, i think this book is the greatest story ever told... never stop learning!

A second thumbs up on The Teaching Company. You might be able to find some at your local library.

Their dynamic pricing has gotten a little crazy so you never know what's on sale or how much it will cost from day to day. I have picked up some of their courses at over 90% off.

I’ve never heard of the Great Courses, I’ll have to check them out, and I didn’t even think about Les Miserable, but now that’s on the list too.

Thanks.
