Books-Reading or Listening

Do you want to listen instead of read?

On occasion of the TV-turnoff week, it is a good idea to focus on books. Pursue your hobbies: gardening, writing, walking, fiddling within the house hold gadgets, etc. If you have an iPod and tired of listening to music or bored to read a book, try listening to audio version of books. If reading does not interest you, I suggest listening to some good audio books while walking, running, you are not interested in reading With the proliferation of iPods, I think one would benefit much from free audio books. Here is a collection of some useful links listed in the order of my preference.

  1. SimplyAudioBooks (Thanks to Lifehacker)
  2. AudioBooksForFree (Has well defined categories)
  3. TellTaleWeekly
  4. Lawrence Lessig (and friends): Free Culture
  5. FreeAudio
  6. FreeClassicAudioBooks
  7. FreeChristianAudioBooks


If you are into reading you can borrow books from your local library. Booksfree.com is an online website for renting books (just like Netflix for movie dvds.) The best thing about booksfree is that it can rent both paperback and audio books.
