Wired News: The Web Will Read You a Story

One of the things that is so nice that comes with owning an iPod is that, when you get tired of listening to music, you can listen to podcasts or audio books instead. Wired News picks up this thread thusly:

This summer, Hugh McGuire was searching for free audio books online from his home in Montreal. He didn't find very much.

So McGuire launched LibriVox by recruiting amateur readers to create audio files of works of literature. The project now includes almost two dozen complete works, including Joseph Conrad's The Secret Agent, Jack London's The Call of the Wild and other classic novels and poems.

Read more about it...or listen more, as the case may be. Free audiobooks? Cool! I've been known to do some freelance recording in my time...I may just have to volunteer.
