Download files are .zip -- MP3 inside or some proprietary format? I'm downloading one now...

Art of War is in WMA format.

God, the narrators voice is a huge ball of cheese. Like a movie voice over guy but for a whole book. That is a bit much.

But I'll listen to it anyway! I drive about the circumference of the earth in miles per year so plenty of time to listen to audio books.

Thanks paperclips.

You have to pay me to listen to Elliot reciting the wasteland. His pseudo British accent is unbearable.

Eliot wrote The Waste Land. According to the introduction, Michael Scott is reading it in this audiobook and I don't detect a British accent, pseudo or otherwise. But all that aside, why threadcrap? Wouldn't you be happier searching for a thread where you could find an audio edition of Juggs?

Thanks OP.

Nice, but those seeking free, downloadable audiobooks also have other good options:

LibriVox.org has over 500 works of fiction and non-fiction. They are trying to do for audiobooks what Project Gutenberg does for print. Librivox narrators are all volunteers, so the "quality" of performance ranges from outstanding to tolerable. All works are Public Domain titles, which means most (but not all) are pre- 1923. Several classic mystery novels are now available, and their forum lists many hundreds more works-in-progress. (Librivox may actually be the source of some of the titles in the original post. Folks are even selling these free audiobooks on Ebay.)

Podiobooks.com has a few dozen new novels and story collections, usually read by the authors, who make their works available to build a following to attract the attention of major publishers. Lots of SciFi / Horror titles, including popular works by Scott Sigler and J.C Hutchins. The business model is to release these books serially, a chapter at a time. You can download them that way, or wait for the full book to be recorded then download it all at once. Donations accepted, half going to the author.

There are more sources I can list if there is interest, but you can usually find new titles and sources each month by going into the iTunes Podcast directory search system and looking for the terms "novel" or "book".

Would somebody mind listening to these and telling me what happens?

btw....thanks, OP!
I remember my fourth-grade teacher reading "Call of the Wild" to our class. Maybe I'll re-create that experience with some milk, graham crackers, and this MP3.
