Acoustical Liberation!



LibriVox is a website that makes audio versions of public domain books available to anyone for FREE! It's amazing. And their slogan is "acoustical liberation of books in the public domain". If that doesn't make you want to rage against the publishing industry machine I don't know what will. You won't find any New York Times Bestsellers but there are definitely some oldies but goodies. Is acoustical even a word?

Um thats amazing. I think I shall volunteer and read a story. Then you could download my voice and listen to me reading to you. I would expect that you would listen to me every night before bed and allow my sweet comforting voice to sooth you and Trent into a blissful and long sleep.

That sounds amazing. And slightly creepy. But mostly amazing.
