a really cool thing
The past couple of days I've been listening to Anne of Green Gables on librivox.org. It's a public domain catalog of many MANY audio books. Sometimes you might get a less than stellar recording, but for many books there are multiple versions, so it is worth checking out. If you want to listen to Anne of Green Gables, I can highly recommend version 2. The reader has an excellent voice, very well suited to the text.

That's awesome. You are such a good updater - I have a blogroll that moves people to the top when they update. I'll have to try the librivox.org out - I would love to listen to Anne of Green Gables.
I hope you do. I've only been listening to it for the past days as I do housework and such, and I'm about halfway through, I think. Almost makes mopping the floor enjoyable, which can't be all bad!
how cool! i've never heard of librivox! i'll definitely be checkin' it out. can i listen to them on my ipod? i'm looking for anything to make running more livable. it's so BORING!!! maybe someday i'll get the joy of running.
i♥Anne. she was a highlight of my childhood. i would regularly escape into her beautiful world.

I think you can, blue. I'm pretty sure they are downloadable, I just haven't tried it yet. I think they even have some sort of podcast option, which makes me think you could certainly get them onto your iPod. I loved Anne as a girl, too. Though the books got a little too descriptive (meaning really REALLY long descriptions that bored me) at about book 4, I think it was. Maybe via audiobook I can make it through the whole series. Eventually.
