Nice! Is the Beowulf the Seamus Heaney translation?
I doubt it. That's copyrighted. -

Wasn't sure if I'd be the only one interested -

Registered 15 years agoTeh piracy! Copyright doesn't expire ever. Not to me. If there's a zombie apocalypse, there'll be some mighty angry zombies coming for us all.
The Art of War sounds good, I think I'll try it out. It was written by one of the descendants of the Sun family in Dynasty Warriors too, as an added tenuous games related bonus. -

Registered 13 years agoOn a related note, I just picked up a 2 box, 16 disc set of David "Silver from 'Sapphire & Steel'" Collings reading the complete works of M.R. James.
It's spicy. -
You can also go to https://librivox.org/ which has ~12,000 public domain audio books.
They are voiced by volunteers so can be of varying quality, but I found them to be really good... until I got into Audible.

I downloaded the complete collection of Edgar Allen Poe recently. It's a hard listen at times. I'm thinking I'll stick with his most well-known stories and skip the more obscure ones. -

Great find. I've read some Edgar Allen Poe stories few years back and some of them are just great! I recommend you "A Descent into the Maelström" it's one of my favourites.
