The Cultured Girl

Most of the commuters I know swear by audiobooks, but buying them online can definitely add up. That’s why Librivox.org sounds like a really cool idea. (I discovered the site while browsing Budget Travel magazine, which I highly recommend, though the spinoff, Girlfriend Getaways, should be avoided.) Because Librivox only offers books and poetry in the public domain, all of the files are absolutely free, so you can listen to classics like Pride and Prejudice and A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court without paying a dime, or turning a page.
