Goodreads Sri Lanka discussion

So guys what's your take on audio books? I'm not too sure about them, to be honest I've not really tried it properly. I find that the voices that narrate the stories are really monotonous, but I've been thinking of trying again just for some of the books I can't find in our bookshops.

If you are an audio book person, can you tell me a good site I can download them from?

Depends, some books, specially old ones are beautiful as audio books due to language (e.g. Illiad)

I have listen to few from here, and it was good. http://www.booksshouldbefree.com/ (only ones in public domain)

Try the following site as well. It has loads. If you are busy with work stuff audio books are for you. As for me I cannot convert totally, hence I shift between audio books hard copies and soft copies... but thats just me...

You just have to search hard but it's worth it. Hope it'll help.
