OT Free download audio books

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... :-)

Thanks Bill. Excellent stuff.

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 don´t gell
with one´s own impressions of how they should be.

For anybody who is even remotely interested in fishing, this might
prove of some interest;

Also if anybody is interested, I have an e-book version of the book by
William F. Blades on fly tying. Unfortunately I have lost the link
where I originally found this.

If anybody wants a copy, just drop me a mail.

I listened to it on the way home tonight - very entertaining,
laugh-out-loud stuff. Thanks, Bill.
