Seasonal favourites

I've been grooving on classic audio books. Mp3 players are wonderful. Librivox has been seeing the most action. I sifted through the top 2700 downloads (UGLY!) and came up with the list below. Here are a couple of gems for the season.

The Gift of the Magi, by O. Henry

A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens

I've got a half dozen books downloaded. There seem to be many mundane tasks in my life that are better when I'm being read to. Some of my warmest memories are of being read to as a kid. It's like when someone else does the cooking. It's most often a pleasure for the differences in style. I'm heading into chapter nine of A Picture of Dorian Grey just now and loving it.

So many of these titles would never make the list again for me, but only because there are so many good books out there to read that I seldom re read anything. This is a great way to taste some of the classics again and not bite into my scant reading time.

Next is definitely going to be The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the haunting.
