LibriVox

LibriVox brings together volunteers to read books in the public domain which they offer as free audio book downloads on MP3. They've recorded thousands of unabridged audio books, short stories, and poems. Some of their audio books feature collaborations from multiple narrators, while some of their titles are read by a solo narrator. The quality of their narrators varies significantly depending on the reader's voice and the audio recording. Check out LearnOutLoud.com's article on The Best Librivox Narrators to help you find some of the best narrators and audio books on their site.
