Audio books are rather expensive of an investment, but they do offer a convince to the listener of the added portability and the ability to read a book when driving. Just the other day I was doing some personal research and stumbled across a great website that offers audio recordings of books in the public domain in MP3 and OGG for you to freely listen to because the audio is also in the public domain. BTW when I told my fiancée about the site she was, to under state, quite thrilled and was the reason I felt it was worthy of posting it on here blog.

This wonderful resource for the audio book listener is
http://librivox.org/

Now do take note, not all the readings are equal. There have been some I have listened to that were amazingly read with character voices and all, but there have been a few where the individuals reading was not as "professional". The reason is simple and quite thrilling to me, Mr. Open Source here, the books are read by individuals like me, someone who is not a professional but a fan.


Well do enjoy.

BTW Happy New Year everyone out there.
the images have been a few of my vacation pics just for fun.
