You Tube also has quite a few classics being read aloud by competent people. Audible is a subscription service owned by Amazon (who else?_ and their readers are quite competent. Talking books drove my mother nuts because the readers were volunteers who weren't particularly competent., reading in monotone and pronouncing "the" as "Thee,: that sort of thing, drove my school teacher mother around the bend. I'll give it a miss as long as I can.
