LIT2GO

Lit2Go is a free online collection of stories and poems in Mp3 (audiobook) format from Florida’s Educational Technology Clearinghouse. You can download the files to your Mp3 player and listen on the go, listen to the Mp3 files on your computer, view the text on a webpage and read along as you listen, or print out the stories and poems to make your own book. You can pick your stories by the author’s last name, pick your stories by title, or download many of the selections directly into your iTunes library for either Macintosh or Windows.

CRITICAL COMPENDIUM

“Every day we post links and a few lines from or about reviews from newspapers, journals, magazines and web zines. You will also find a sizable list of links to book review sections around the world. We also don't link, for the most part, to sites that require subscriptions.”

DO YOU HAVE JUST A FEW MINUTES TO READ?

Try a selection from Classic Short Stories. There are many selections here, all in the public domain, from authors like Poe, Twain, O. Henry, de Maupassant, Chekhov, etc. There are indexes by title and author (with word count), a dictionary of archaic or little-known words from the stories, and links to other short story sites. Now you’ll have no excuse not to have something to read.
