Rohit Farmer, Ph.D.There is so much good available in the public domain. I just found LibriVox, a volunteer-run audiobook project for public domain books. The quality is okay and depends on the volunteer's skills and equipment, but it's free even without making an account. I use it on my phone and it works well with Android Auto. <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/audiobooks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#audiobooks</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#reading</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#literature</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/AndroidAuto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AndroidAuto</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/librivox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#librivox</a> <a href="https://librivox.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://librivox.org/</a>

trainguyrom<a href="https://stranger.social/@AlexanderVI" class="u-url mention">@AlexanderVI</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/@HeavenlyPossum" class="u-url mention">@HeavenlyPossum</a> I've certainly got more to read! I've been slowly making my way through classic works I've heard about and been interested in via <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LibriVox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibriVox</a> over my new commute. It's been quite interesting exploring new books. Always open to recommendations too!

BokI was watching _Terry Talks Movies_ on <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> last night, and he made a passing comment about some old <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/MovieSerials" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MovieSerials</a>, including one called _The Mysterious Doctor Satan_, which drew my interest. But given that the hero in that serial is name the Copperhead, the villain's name is just a coincidence, and has nothing to do with the Paul Ernst novellas in _Weird Tales_.However, searching on <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/YouTube" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YouTube</a> further, I found that a channel called _HorrorBabble_ has done readings of five of the eight Doctor Satan <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/pulp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pulp</a> thrillers, with them running about 1h15m. I may listen to one the next time I'm chopping vegetables for slow cooker stew.<a href="https://lor.sh/tags/Librivox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Librivox</a> has also done some Paul Ernst stories, but none of the <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/DoctorSatan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoctorSatan</a> ones. I've already read three of the ones Librivox has, and have the other two in the waiting novelette pack.

trainguyromThis morning I finished War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells on <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LibriVox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibriVox</a> I'm really impressed with the vision for the evolutionary history for the martians and the overall arc of how the invasion progressed and the final ending where it's revealed how doomed the invasion was from the moment they emerged from their craft. Such a cool book!

Audiobook Gaming🔊 New Audiobook!"Anti-Dictator: The Discours sur la servitude volontaire" by Étienne de La Boétie, translated by Harry Kurz. This famous essay argues that tyrants only have power because people willingly give it to them. Advocating civil disobedience & nonviolent resistance, La Boétie unpacks why we consent to oppression—and how we can withdraw it. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PoliticalScience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PoliticalScience</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Audiobook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Audiobook</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LibriVox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibriVox</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CivilDisobedience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilDisobedience</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nonviolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Nonviolence</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Anarchism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anarchism</a>🎧 Listen now: <a href="https://youtu.be/PiE0PQidt6Y?si=am5PY6GP8GBboqMb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/PiE0PQidt6Y?si=am5PY6GP8GBboqMb</a>

trainguyromDuring my long commutes I've started going through H.G. Wells' work last week via <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/LibriVox" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#LibriVox</a> first with The Invisible Man (shocking how differently that might have ended had he been a more decent person to start with) and now The War of the WorldsI'm struck by how creative and unique H.G. Wells' image for the martians is as well as by how I don't think I've seen an homage to them in any sci-fi media

The main character, Anne, is full of enthusiasm, wonder, and imagination and it is funny how the other more stiff characters try to make sense of her.<a href="https://raphus.social/tags/LibriVox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibriVox</a> <a href="https://raphus.social/tags/FreeCulture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeCulture</a> <a href="https://raphus.social/tags/publicDomain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publicDomain</a>

David RuffnerI finished the book Heidi, via the Librivox audio book. It ended up being a little too moralistic for me. I hadn't picked up on it as a kid when my dad read it to me. So I ended up skipping a bunch of chapters when Heidi went to school. I preferred the parts where Heidi was up on the mountain and free to play and explore. <a href="https://raphus.social/tags/LibriVox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LibriVox</a> <a href="https://raphus.social/@davidruffner/113402321909300478" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://raphus.social/@davidruffner/113402321909300478</a>
