History of Audio Books
“Around the World in 80 Days” by Jules Verne has been provided by the Gutenberg Project.
The story and associated audio book are located on Gutenberg and can be found by putting either the authors name “Jules Verne” or the story title “Around the world in 80 days” and the list will show up.
Most of Jules Verne’s books are on the list and have been provided for free.
You are probably wondering why I go through all of this effort to provide you with something you can get for free. Well you can only get it if you know about it so now you know.
Anyway, if it is the only way I can get you to listen to a book that has been put onto audio then we are all the better for it. You will learn about audio books and the joy of being able to “read” a book during your very busiest times.
If you get your children to read these books it is even better as the more they can “read” the smarter they become.
Books can only make you a better person so read as much as you can whether it be for free or if you have to pay.
The Gutenberg Project does a great job with these books using volunteer help. Sometimes the audio is not the greatest but for free it’s great. But do not judge all audio books by these as those that are professional recorded are spectacular compared to the free ones.
But if you want more of these types of books or even more up to date books, please go to my web site for a selection of over 6,000 audio books in all fields. You can even get professionally recorded versions of Around the World in 80 days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and more that use many entertainers to record these books. They are wonderful to listen to and very enjoyable. You can listen to a 5 minute excerpt of each book when you click on the link under the book.
My Web Site is The Great Audio Books List Store and if you Click Here you can get more books.
Please, for you and the rest of your family, read more even by using audio books.
If you are not sure how to acquire these books, you can go to my web site the Great Audio Books List Store for an audio/video instruction on how to load audio books and then go to Gutenberg Project for the free ones or go to my site for the premium ones at discount prices.
I hope you have become informed enough to begin using the audio books as I think that there are many, many advantages to using audio books that you cannot get from reading especially with our busy lives.
Thanks and enjoy.
