Recently finished Heinlein's short stories - Waldo and Magic, Inc. and have started on Parasite Eve by Hideaki Sena. A more pithy entry will follow, but for a between-meal snack, so to speak, I would like to give the following shout-out.
Librivox.org is my new religion. Or at least my new Vatican City and interwebs Mecca. Free downloads of readings of public domain books! Could anything be BETTER??? Yeah, OK I can think of a few things, mostly involving dark chocolate and all the members of The Mighty Boosh. Seriously, though, these are pretty not-bad public domain free MP3 files of volunteers reading some of the greats!
So far, I've downloaded Dante's Inferno, a compelation of short stories by Mark Twain, the first book of the Brothers Karamazov, and the first few bits of The Canterbury Tales. There are several different file-type options so they should work with most MP3 players and media programs out there.
The goal of librivox.org is to eventually record all books in the public domain. Since that list will continue to grow, I'm pretty stoked.
