Overdrive/Gutenberg/Thing #22

Reading the introductory information to Project Gutenberg http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page was very interesting. I had no idea you could volunteer to be a reader or digitize books for this project. I was also interested to see that the vast majority of the top 100 books and authors downloaded were classic authors and titles. This is probably because of school assignments, but it's good to see that the classics are still being read and listened to. I also created an account in NetLibrary and explored the Overdrive site. I downloaded children's books from both of these sites and listened to parts of them with my grandson.
