I tend to like the volunteer-read audiobooks on librivox and recently was curious about their Sherlock Holmes books (never read or listened to before), but I’m wondering what else is out there and popular in the community.

If ebooks are acceptable to you, then Standard Ebooks is the shit. Proper classics, formatted in a nice way, ready to drop onto whatever reading device you have.

I just finished count of monte cristo! I’ve never read a more epic and fulfilling revenge story. It was entertaining the whole way through.

The Book of Wonder by Lord Dunsany is fantastic; it’s a bunch of early fantasy stories by an Irish lord who was a huge influence on the fantasy genre.

I notice that you specifically mentioned audiobooks, but if you’re interested in written ebooks, check out Standard EBooks
They take public domain books and run them through a detailed process of editing and typesetting them to create beautiful versions.
Personally, I’m a big fan of The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain. There is an audiobook version on Librevox too!
