Free Downloadable Audiobooks

Are you the type of student who is always busy and enjoys listening to audiobooks to get some of your school reading done? A great site called LibriVox has volunteers record books in the public domain (which means books that copyright law no longer applies to–think old stuff) that you can download to your computer (mp3 or Ogg files) and even to iTunes.

Need to read some Charles Dickens? LibriVox has Dickens. Shakespeare? Yup. Mark Twain? All kinds. It’s a fabulous site that allows you to limit your search to just completed audiobooks (there’s nothing like getting close to the end to find out the volunteers haven’t finished recording the story), and you can search by author and title. Give it a shot for one of your reading assignments this school year.
