Great site, hundreds of classic novels recorded as audiobooks by volunteers. You can subscribe to any novel as an RSS feed and download each chapter as a podcast.

I commute an hour each way to work, so this kind of thing is golden for me (especially now that I have a new car with an iPod dock). I'm "reading" The Count of Monte Cristo now, and I'll probably go for A Tale of Two Cities next.

@Aedes,
I'm sure you could, you can download individual chapters, download a ZIP of the whole thing, or subscribe to the RSS feed and manage it like any other podcast. It should be compatible across all formats.

@Aedes,
The reading of Moby Dick is wonderful, I'm halfway through it now. I just finished Through the Looking glass and before that Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, both great.

My only complaint is that some of the readers are not native English speakers (this was a problem for the recording of The Count of Monte Cristo), and they just can't capture the cadence of the text -- especially these 19th century works with more flowery language.

@Aedes,
Yes, these people aren't professionals and it's 100% volunteer work, so while some people are amazing readers that sound very professional, others are not so great.
