Hello, all-
Just a brief interruption to your various phobias and perversions to point
out a few freebies.
Naxos has a new audiobook download service. They've got some free excerpts
available. In particular, I'd suggest the one from the Canterbury Tales-
the Miller's Tale is particularly well done in modern English. It is one of
Chaucer's bawdy ones, so I think you'd all enjoy it.

Crack open a bottle of cheap west Texas wine and enjoy!

(Dickens' Hard Times is available as well (abridged) but I hesitate to
offend anyone's taste by suggesting it as well... :-)
Pretty good, but I still prefer reading the books myself. Indeed, I
still prefer reading paper books than reading them on the net.
Odd, but sometimes the voices in these audio books just donīt gell
with oneīs own impressions of how they should be.
For anybody who is even remotely interested in fishing, this might
prove of some interest;
