Listen in...

During the current Covid crisis, Audible.com is making social distancing a little more tolerable by generously offering scores of audiobooks to stream for free.  The emphasis is on titles with an educational bent, for younger readers, as well as storybooks for kids.  But there are plenty of literary classics aimed at readers of all ages.

I think I just might start Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, read by Dan Stevens, later today.  I always meant to tackle that one.  Then maybe I'll hit Brave New World (strangely appropriate for our current period, I would say) and Call of the Wild.

Thanks, Audible, for a great gesture during these uncertain times!
