Best Audio Books

Mosy sites I see when I "google" free audio books actually charge for the entire book or only give u a free trial. Are there any free sites?

Check out www.librivox.org – they feature books that are in the public domain (ie the copyright has expired, so they can be downloaded free of charge). The quality varies but is generally quite good, and there’s an absolutely enormous amount of content available

I m looking for motivational audiobooks that can help me in my life and my love life. I also would like audiobooks that can help me to sleep. Thankyou guys.

How about…
The Bartameus Trilogy by Johnathan Stroud. Young English Magician summons a very sarcastic Djinn. Hilarity and not a little trouble ensue.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Coilfer. Boy Genius. Evil Mastermind. Artemis is awesome. In the first book he decides to steal fairy gold from a leprechaun. Unfortunately it’s L.E.P. Recon. He gets a police fairy. They lower elements Police lock down his house. Pull it out of time to get their officer back.

Discworld by Terry Pratchett. There are a ton and they’re all satire. Of everything. There’s one that makes fun of the movie industry and one for rock music… The world is great and there are so many characters to choose from to follow.

The Night Angel Trilogy by Brent Weeks. I LOVE these books. They were awesome. Started with a street kid barely surviving. He scrapes together enough money to get apprenticed to the world’s best wet boy and learns the art of killing. Meanwhile there are three magicians wandering around with bits of prophecy to see about. It starts as a story about this kid and explodes into a near world war with twists and turns and tons of intrigue and good fights. It’s epic and awesome.

And for Audio. I got Fool by Christopher Moor. It’s King Lear from the jester’s point of view. It is bawdy. And FUNNY. The guy who read it just brought it to life. I listened to it on a long ride and had to stop a few times because I was laughing so hard.

Search at – Librivox.org and Gutenberg.org BEFORE you purchase anything, both offer free books.

i went on to audiables.com, yeah it has good offers but i just want to know if there are any other websites i should look at also.any suggestions ??

Hi there,

http://librivox.org/ offers free audiobooks read by volunteers. The books are all in the public domain. Also, try http://etc.usf.edu/lit2go/ – it’s a collection of free audiobooks provided by the University of South Florida. I got some of my favourite ones from there.

Cheers

I go through 3-4 audio books a month, but it’s so expensive! What website do you recommend for downloading mp3 audio books at a very good price?
Thank you Rudy. I’m downloading an audio book now using iTunes as you suggested. I couldn’t find all the books I want, but oh well.

SERIOUSLY THE BEST I-TUNES TRUST ME!

I listen to my mp3 player alot, but mainly the spoken word, not music.
I like a wide range of fiction, and I also enjoy more academic persuits (history, religion, philosophy etc).
Any suggestions what i might listen to next?

I’ve just started this myself, so I haven’t listened to many yet, but so far I am enjoying Objectivism: The Philosophy Of Ayn Rand by Leonard Peikoff. It is almost 20 hours long and very well laid out. It even has a touch of humor(mostly dry), which is very nice in a field as dry as philosophy

not history well j.k rowling is but some of the harry potter audio books by stephen fry.

Where can I find free audio books on iTunes? If you can suggest any podcasts or even if there are some available from iTunesU that would be great!

Several web sites offer online full-texts of books that are out of copyright, e.g. www.gutenberg.org.
However, aside from the copyright owner, which is almost always the author or their publisher, ANYONE who posts, distributes, or transmits the text of these books online is violating both the U.S. and the International Copyright laws, infringing on Intellectual Property, and can be fined and jailed for it. (In general, anything first published within the last 52 years in the U.S. will still be in copyright. When the law was changed, it became copyright duration matched the rest of the work, i.e. the author’s/copyright owner’s lifetime plus 50 years.)
Writers make a living by creating their work. To read or use it without paying for it, is STEALING, pure and simple.
If the work is valuable enough to read, it must be paid for.
This is especially true of audiobooks since they are "performance" pieces and thus hold newer copyrights.

I always love audio books as I can listen to them anywhere, especially when I’m driving or doing household chores. It’s hard to catch up on proper books these days.

There is a list of good audio books on selling, many of which are classics. My favourite is the very old favorite by Zig Ziglar, I read when I was still a kid.
