I can't say anything positive or negative about the site on which they're posted, but this site has a listing of 100 free audiobooks "you should have read by now."
Quite an array of diverse books are laid out, ranging from Pilgrim's Progress to Dracula and The Strange Case of Benjamin Button; from the gaseous and soporific Beyond Good and Evil to Moby Dick and Robinson Crusoe; from Democracy in America to Christmas Carol — and scores of others.
Check it out.

The grandma of one of my friends wrote No. 46, The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy.
yeah a lot of those are done through http://librivox.org/
which is a pretty cool site. They get regular people to read stuff that's in the public domain. Heck, you can get part of the Institutes by Calvin on there...
"Gaseous and soporific" indeed! Clearly you have been reading the wrong translation (which, in all seriousness, is a big problem for Nietzsche) or maybe all of the gas you've inhaled from Luther's writings has befuddled you.
You just like Nietzsche because he's a misogynist.
Well, that's certainly one of the reasons.
Mm.
Well, I'd rate it as one of the most vapid, overrated, by-rights inconsequential books I've ever wasted my life enduring. What a gasbag! What a bore! What a boor! What a Boer, for that matter!
!!! Thank you!
There is no accounting for tastes, I guess. Otherwise you are a pretty reasonable guy, so I will have to accept this particular, albeit irritating, aberration. The Bible and Nietzsche comprise my regular daily reading and while I would readily agree that Beyond Good and Evil is not his best, I have derived much enjoyment from it.
Am I the only one who does not consider an audiobook to be "reading?"
I like librevox and newfiction.com . They both have a strong library for free audiobooks
