Jon Sindell | 37 comments Sure, Haley, I'm in, and thanks so much for organizing this. Macbeth of one of my faves.

Btw, fans of audio recordings, you all ought to know about Librivox, a global, non-commercial volunteer project with the goal of producing free audio recordings of virtually every piece of literature in the public domain (in general, this encompasses works published before 1923). You won't believe how many free audio recordings you can access. Scroll down to Librivox at this link for access:

Librivox is a very good site for those who fancy listening to a story rather than reading it. Of course, another reason people use audio books is because they have limited vision. One good site for such people is Classic Bookshelf. As with many other sites, you read the book online, but unlike other sites, you have the ability to choose how your book looks on the screen. You can adjust the size of the font, the margins and the colour of the text and background to get just the right combination for your own eyesight. When you come back to the site, all your settings will be saved. Try it out.

Heather Hobbs (in--words) I'd like to enter. I love listening to audio books, but some of the volunteer options available at Librivox get a little... well... bad. It'd be nice to hear what a professional can do with Macbeth!
