Librivox- acoustical liberation of books in the Public Domain

http://librivox.org/
Librivox is a volunteer run audiobook site which encourages people from all over the world to read section of public domain books which then get put up on the website. You can access the files either as a podcast, through bitorrent, a .zip file or downloaded as either an mp3 or Ogg Vorbis file in approx 15 min chapters. You may find that each segment is read by a different voice, and the narrator can vary sex within the same book.
