In related news, the audio book readings of Mark Twain's books as read by John Greenman for librivox, are incredible and free.

I've done Mark Twain, Huck Finn, and Life on the Mississippi already and will do some more this next year. The narrator's voice adds a great element to the stories.

There's a librivox app that's free also.

Note: “bicentennial” is an adjective, not a noun.
