Sometimes French radio is too much and I don't fancy any of my cds so where do I head?
LIBRIVOX
This is a vast range of audio books that you can download free. I have been working my way though the detective mysteries. It's been very interesting listening to books written around 100 years ago. There are often things crop up that are relevant to political or social situations now and it gives a different perspective on the present times.
It is based in the USA so most of the readers are American which can lead to some interesting pronunciations of British place names some sounding funny but others being annoying.
There are many genres of fiction and non-fiction therein, with famous authors and others whom have probably not been heard of in many a year.
Anyway, it's free, so why not downoad one. There's not much to lose and a lot to gain.

Mate, I'd like to thank you for this one!
I usually listen to podcasts in the car, but even they get a bit tiresome after a while.
I had thought of audio books before, but being a tight-arse, I didn't want to cough up any dosh, so this site is perfect!
I have already downloaded a Kurt Vonnegut short story, that I shall listen to on my way in to work on Monday.
This one is far more interesting to me, thank you.
