Shakespeare Audios – Which One to Choose?

Thursday, March 15th, 2007

When you’re starting to look into the classic literature and especially Shakespeare, you’ll find out that there are many different recordings of the Bard’s plays online. Personally I find that the BBC Audiobook versions are often the ones I like best. But there are other editors who do a good job.

Buying audio books just by the nice pics on the front of the CD has never been my idea of a good buy. Therefore I prefer to visit sites that let me listen to samples. One such site is ShakespeareAudioBook.com which has a great comparative page with the Tragedies written by Shakespeare .

Listening to the samples you get a good idea what the entire recording will be like and I’ve yet to regret a choice I made that way. More sites should do this!

National Book Foundation – Stephen King Donates AudioBook Profits

Sunday, March 11th, 2007

In 2003 Stephen King received the National Book Award.

Each Autumn, in conjunction with the conferring of The National Book Awards in Fiction, Nonfiction, Poetry, and Young People’s Literature, the Board of Directors of the Foundation presents a Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

An audio book was made from Stephen King’s acceptance speech at The National Book Awards: King accepts the award with grace and wit. His speech is filled with loving thanks to his wife Tabitha and with a passionate appreciation of his craft. Stephen King also reflects on bridging the gap between literary and popular writers as well as staying true to his work and to himself over the many years. He concludes his speech by saluting all the nominees and with his sincerest hope that “you’ll find something to read that will fill you up as this evening has filled me up.”

Stephen King has enriched our literary heritage over a life of service, or a corpus of work.

100% of publisher and author profits from Building Bridges will be donated to the National Book Foundation.

Read Books When Driving? Look For Audio Books!

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Find audio books. Printed books are beautiful, we love them, but can you read a book and drive? Some people think they can, and how that ends we don’t really want to tell here…..

To download an audio book and have it ready to listen to when you drive is the smarter solution!

With audiobooks you can use otherwise dull time to get entertained. Or you could be learning a foreign language for instance. It’s also a lot easier to have audio files that you can load on to your MP3 player, rather than having to lug CDs and a bulky CD player.

Valentine Poems – Download the Audio File for iPod and MP3

Saturday, January 27th, 2007

This year, Valentine will be different for many. Instead of just flowers, chocolate, perfume and whatever else is given on Valentine, many will recieve a Valentines poem collection that can be loaded on the iPod or MP3 player. Your Valentine will be listening to these poems forever – well, maybe that’s a slight exageration – hearing romantic words, selected and offered by you.

Valentine is for lovers. But expressing the feelings of love, the appreciation for the other, the love and emotions – all that is difficult to put into the right words. Writing a Valentines card can be quite a chore…

If you’re short of words, there is a solution: Poets and song writers have spent hours perfecting their poems to tell their love how much they appreciate them, how much they mean for them and how they can not live without them. They did that in much more poetic words than what I write here.

Valentines poems can be downloaded as audio files that fit on a cell phone, iPod or MP3 player. The collection ‘A Dozen Red Roses: 12 Valentines Poems‘ is my favourite, it contains a wide variety of different poems, you can be sure that they will touch the right cords. These twelve poems can also be downloaded individually, making them a nice and not too expensive gift to add to chocolates, flowers or any other, more conventional gifts.

It is easy and only takes a few minutes to upload the audio files with the Valentines poems to the iPod or MP3 player. Your Valentine will have these files with her / him forever to listen to your precious gift whenever they feel like it and miss you!

Learn English and Learn Spanish

Thursday, January 25th, 2007

To learn English or to learn Spanish? Both languages are major languages and many million people speak them. With both languages you can move in large parts of the world and get by.

Well, it really depends what your goal is and exactly where you will end up travelling, working and living. Whichever of the two languages will give you better value, it will still take effort to learn them. If you’re going to have to speak with people in Mexico, Middle and South America, then Spanish ist the choice.

If on the other hand you are going to be moving in predominantly English speaking countries, like the UK, the U.S.A., Australia, Europe and many South East Asian countries, then English will bring you further. A very good start are the Pimsleur language courses in English for speakers of foreign languages:

They are easy to use and very convenient because of the method and the media: The method is very simple to implement: Listen to the audio often and many times. The media are downloadable audio books, that can be played on a PC, laptop, iPod or other MP3 player and even on some of the newer cell phones.

Take the lessons along, listen to them often and your brain does the rest!
