I found this site recently. It’s LibriVox and has a bunch of free mp3s of people reading stuff. Also you can volunteer to be a reader. And links to online texts of the readings.

I started out liking this reader‘s voice (Bill Koon). I downloaded his recording of “The Mark of the beast” by Kipling.

I’m not in the mood to watch tv so I will put this and another short story (Wagner Matinee by Wila Cather also read by Koon) on my mp3 player and go lay in bed and ignore the tv and listen to audio books.
