Help me find audiobooks for a friend's long hospital stay
Can anyone recommend good readers at gutenberg or librivox? I want to fill a USB stick with great stories for her. She's more oriented toward good stories than to genres.

I really like Elizabeth Klett at LibriVox. She's also done professional narrations.

Best wishes for your friend.

ETA: Klett's free audiobooks are shown here.

Kara Shallenberg does a great job with Alice in Wonderland (version 2) as well as Through the Looking Glass.

Tabithat is a wonderful reader and her reading of H. Beam Piper's _Little Fuzzy_ is a wonderful bit of (slightly dated) fun, which has aged surprisingly well.

Tried to do a thread on this sort of thing a while back:

(and Elizabeth Klett came up then as well)
