ThoughtAudio Download books http://www.thoughtaudio.com/
I came across a pretty cool website that might be of interest to teachers and students at the start of the school year. ThoughtAudio.com is a website that offers free MP3 streams and downloads of audio books.

Here's a sampling of some popular books.
Call of the Wild - Jack London
The Prince - Nicollo Machiavelli
The Occurrence of Owl Creek Bridge - Ambrose Bierce
The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane
The Declaration of Independence
The Constitution

The books are segmented into chapters. The chapters can be streamed over the Internet by clicking on them or can be downloaded for local playback on your computer or MP3 player. For $10/year users can purchase a Zip Pass to allow them to download the entire book's segments at one time. The Zip Pass is unlimited and can be used for as many books as a user wants.

This might be a great option for students who require audio support for reading. It looks like ThoughtAudio is planning on adding more titles soon. Check them out at ThoughtAudio.com.

Books are still being banned every day, but do you know which of the great classics have been banned? Books are controversial because of language, politics, sexuality, or religion. Some books seem to be challenged or banned because of multiple objections from different types of censors. Here's a list of ten...

What's the state of censorship, banned, and challenged children's books in the twenty-first century? There have been some changes in the last few years. For example, for several years the Harry Potter series was vigorously challenged. By the 2005 Banned Books Week report, the American Library Association (ALA) announced, "This year marks the first in five in which the Harry Potter series does not top or appear on the ALA's annual list." However, a number of the same books that were challenged in the 1990s continue to be challenged in the 2000s.
