Librivox explored

I've meant to read the Scarlet Pimpernel but just could never quite get into it. I found an audio version of it on Librivox, so I'll give that a shot. It was fairly easy to download the book to my iTunes and then to my iPod. After looking at the catalog, I think that it would be a good resource for students. We have a hard time getting audios of the older classics and they want an audio when they have to read it. Since a lot of the classics are in the public domain, it is a good way for them to get access to novels by Austen, Dickens, etc. I also liked the fact that it had some of the works of important philosphers and thinkers like Adam Smith etc. It even has the Bible on there.
