Reading Rainbow I am not a big fan of the Sceince Fiction Genre when it comes to books or film, but I am intrigued by Australian Author Mathew Reilly's plan to serialize his new novel, "Hover Car Racer" over the internet. Serialized Novels are not a new thing, Dickens published "Oliver's Twist" in installments, for instance. Stephen King published "The Green Mile" as a serialized paper novel, which was extremely successful, but his internet foray, "The Plant" was a flop. I thought I might give "Hover Car Racer" a bit of a go, but I couldn't really get past the first page, due to the fact that futuristic vehicle racing is really of no interest to me.  I am quite the insomniac, so I rely on books on tape to put me to bed. Without one, I am up until about four staring at the ceiling. Even though I have never been a big Harry Potter fan, I always get excited when a new H.P. book comes out (or a new vibrating broomstick), because I can drift away and dream that I am a wizard and Hermione is Keira Knightly. 
The problem with books on tape is that they are mucho expensivo! Harry Potter is like $200 bucks, or something, and I would NEVER download something like that with Bit Torrent! So, I have just discovered Audio Books for Free, which offers .mp3 versions of mostly classic novels for free, online. I was so excited that I started going a bit hog wild and downloaded Robinson Curuso and Tom Sawyer. The only catch is that you have to pay a couple bucks for the higher bitrate .mp3s. The lower bit-rate files are a bit annoying, but bearable (and free, yo). Check it out and dream of Becky Thatcher in her little cotton socks tonight!!!
