Librivox

If you saw my Pride and Prejudice post, and listened to the audio, you already know about Librivox. Librivox is like Wiki Audiobooks. It's a collective effort which creates free audiobooks for public use. They mostly take texts from Gutenberg.org, and make amateur recordings. I don't use the word amateur disparagingly. This is a wonderful effort by book lovers who are providing top quality free content. This is an excellent use of the internet (unlike dontforward.com).

They welcome volunteers to read short works, individual book chapters, or even whole books. You can give as well as receive! I just may buy myself a microphone and join the fun.
