Week 9 - Thing 22- Audiobooks

I looked at Overdrive and Project Gutenberg. Because I've had training in Overdrive, it was fairly easy for me to find the titles I was interested in. I am going to go home and try checking out a title and downloading it to my laptop. Actually I was hoping to use the MP3 player we will receive after finishing 23 things to download a book or two also. I usually don't enjoy "listening" to books because I get distracted more easily but I'll give it a try.
Project Gutenberg was really interesting to me. I picked a favorite author, Jane Austen and proceeded to find A Memoir of Jane Austen (written by her nephew) as well as Lady Susan....This is something I think I would use quite often. It just amazed me what was ontained in this website.
