    Audiobooks in and from the public domain

    Libriviox_logoLibrivox offers DIY audiobooks presented to the public domain.  Download, listen, and mix, or volunteer your readings.

    I'm enjoying the Librivox recording of Herman Meville's Typee (1846).  It's not as rich, visionary, or audacious as the later novels, but is still a treat.  Michael Scherer does a fine job of reading, teasing out Melville's humor and splendid language.  You can find the whole text from Gutenberg, or explore Virginia's "fluid text edition."
