#10 Audiobooks...

this was really neat...i found an audio file for The Natural History, by Pliny the Elder from ancient Rome. This was one of the earliest biology/history/science books that many after were based off of. I took a class on Roman Art and Architecture and Pliny the Elder was presetn when Pompeii was covered by the volcanic explosion of Mt Vesuvius in 79AD. His son Pliny the Younger continued his work after his death. I browsed the catalog for a little bit as well and there is alot of other cool ancient books that would be difficult for many people to read and understand on their own so hearing it from another persons voice often helps them be able to process it as they are hearing it. A+ for this site!!!
