Free Audiobook podcasts

So I was reading The Stranger and I saw a post on the Slog about Scott Sigler's book "Infected". The reviewer said the book was horrible. As I read on I saw that Scott Sigler had his books available for downloading as a podcast. I'm always looking for new ways to use my iPod, so I plugged his name into google and headed to his website. From there I went to his iTunes page.

I headed to iTunes and started downloading. When looking at Scott's site I saw that when finished his books are available at Podiobooks. They have over 200 hundred books for download, all of which are free.

So far I have only listened to the first chapter of "Infected", but it seems like it might be a good way to pass the time on a plane ride, or in the morning and afternoon commute. It isn't very good, but when someone else is reading it doesn't seem as bad to me, I agreed with the reviewer from the Stranger that the writing was full of cliches, but I like the bad with the good sometimes. Plus he offers it for free, and I can listen to it on the iPod, so it can't be that bad.
