After a fruitless search for free audio books online, Hugh McGuire started Librivox, a project of amateur readers who record public domain books and poems. About six months old, Librivox has a library of two dozen works, including Jack London's "The Call of the Wild" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein." Librixox uses volunteers from around the world, who record a chapter or two. The files are offered in multiple file formats, and via podcast.

Thanks for providing the linke. In fact, McGuire says Gutenberg is the inspiration for Librivox... I probably should have mentioned Gutenberg in the interview. --Jon G.

One of my robot buddies once vowed to plough through all of Balzac, but he seems to have taken a vacation from that.
But, I'm sure he'll be back ...
