The introduction of audio books to the market in the last fifteen years or so has meant that now more than ever, literature is becoming more accessible to people. This is the mission that Librivox has in its efforts to make as many books available in the public domain transferred into audio books. The organization then makes these freely available to the public and you can take advantage of the great work that they are doing. You can go onto their website and download various chapters of books that they have recorded and catch up on your literature listening pleasure. The sheer variety of the recordings that they have on offer means that you are likely to find exactly what you are looking for and this is also a great way to broaden your horizons.

The recordings are done by volunteers, all in the interests of making literature more widely available to the global population. You can download the recordings as pod casts onto your MP3 player and this is a great way to pass the time as you take a bus, train or airplane. You can sit comfortably while learning something new. As they say, education is never wasted.

If you are interested out in helping the organization achieve its goal then you can sign up as a volunteer and bring the satisfaction of literature to a broader global audience.
