Hugh from Librivox (a project that enlists volunteers to create free audiobooks of public domain texts) sez, “We just had an extraordinary month. We published 70 texts (as part of a March madness campaign to finish as many books as we could). Our effort makes us, I suspect, the biggest maker of audio books in the world (at least in March). Among the titles now available for all the world to hear for free:”
* Relativity: The Special and General Theory by Einstein, Albert
* Sense and Sensibility by Austen, Jane
* Moby Dick, or the Whale – Herman
Melville
* Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea – Jules Verne
* The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes – Doyle, Sir Arthur Conan
* The Sayings of Confucius – Confucius
(Thanks, Hugh!)
