Enlightenment on Valley Metro
A couple of quick follow-ups to
my earlier post. If you're the type who suffers from motion sickness that makes it difficult to read in a moving vehicle (this is sometimes an issue for me, particularly on bus routes that involve a lot of stops and starts, like either of the Valley View routes) an audiobook can be a good alternative. And just in case you'd like to catch up on some of those classics that you've always meant to read someday, there's a free option:
Librivox, which provides audio versions of books in the public domain, all available for download to your MP3 player of choice. You can even get involved as a reader if you're interested.
If your interests tend towards the educational rather than literary, check out this
list of college and university podcasts you can download for free. Most are available for subscription via iTunes or an RSS feed. I spent a little bit of time with a few Oxford podcasts on medieval literature before I got sucked into some Great Courses collections (borrowed from a friend) on economics and linguistics.
