I am a little burned out of listening to my iPod music on the way to work or listening to it while doing repetitive tasks at work.
I found alot of free books on MP3.
Old Science fiction, classics, non-fiction, and even Heart Of Darkness by Joseph Conrad.*

1. Left-click link below.
http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/genre/Non-fiction

2. Left-click genre you want on left.
3. Left-click the book you want.
4. Over on the right is a mini-player. Right-click the download button of Chapter 1 and save it to a folder on your computer. Do the same for every chapter of the book within that player.
(P.S. On the left are other formats, and a zip file of the whole book. I just like it on my player broke down into chapters)



5. Transfer it to your portable MP3 player, phone, etc.

That's about it.
Lots of choices.
A chance to finally read some of them tough old classics.......with your ears.

*Can you guess what movie that eventually became?

Thanks Boon! I'm currently listening to the Bourne book series. Although if the 6th book doesn't dramatically improve over the 5th I may just forgo the rest. I'll have to look through that site more and see if I can find something to listen to next.

"So check it out - there's this little bone connected to the wrist, it looks like a little dried-up hot dog... and a tendon attached over there, and some things which look like little tubes..."

Heh
