Some great memories of a couple of those games in the CLASP section

The "wayback machine" feature on the main page of archive.org is fascinating, I use it every so often to see what sites looked like

Its pot luck as to whether you like the reader for the human voice read books and some of the computer read books are terrible . Still its a good way to listen to loads of freebies .

Yes, I've just been experimenting with a Sherlock Holmes download. It is a little strange to hear it being read in a female, American accented voice, (mainly because radio versions here are generally in clipped, "I'm British-don't-you-know" tones ) But I'm not complaining, heck it was free and it's entertaining.

I have also just found a book that I really loved many years ago but haven't been able to find (probably because it's out of print, I should think.) So just downloading that now. Good practice for when I get my MP3 player... Thank you again

Whats the book Taffycat ?

Whats the book Taffycat ?

It's a comedy called "Helen's Babies" by John Habberton (it was also made into a film of the same name.) Our English teacher read it aloud to our class of young teens and I just remember that we all thought it a very funny story, so it will be interesting to hear it again, just to see whether it still has the same effect

Oh and on doing a quick check to see whether it might still be in print, it turned up in Amazon, for the unbelievable price of.......£74.99 (but temporarily out of stock) making that free download the best value ever

 

[Abarbarian]

You have expensive tastes . £75 for a book .
