I tend to like the volunteer-read audiobooks on librivox and recently was curious about their Sherlock Holmes books (never read or listened to before), but I’m wondering what else is out there and popular in the community.

    Treasure Island should be public domain. After reading it, watch Blacks Sails (TV show which plays before the book). Both are quite good. Also books by Jules Verne (Around the World in Eighty Days, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea).

    Edit: Just found out that there are two cool looking movies of “Around the World in Eighty Days”.

      I loved treasure island growing up. Black sails is supposed to be kinda dark tho right? Treasure island was a fun adventure book.

        Yes treasure island is a book for teenagers i think, but black sails is clearly for adults. With prostitution, violence etc.
