Paŝoj al Plena Posedo by William Auld- A gentleman by the name of Luis Jorge Santos Morales has read out five stories from this book, ranging in length from 13 to 18 minutes. His recordings are free on his SoundCloud page.

Dankon IronMike!

By the way, those are Paŝoj 3, 5, 10, 13, and 14, in case you're searching in the book, which has no table of contents.

The dearth of audiobooks had me recently listening to Alicia en Mirlando. I wish there were more Esperanto books on Librivox.

Jack Vance was kind enough to give us a couple books with mp3.

Ankaŭ estas La Eta Princo - The Little Prince - One place to find the audio is here. There is also a place that has the mp3s split into the 27 chapters.

La kvara podkasto de La Ondo de Esperanto enhavas Novelon de Anton Ĉeĥov - Almozulo tradukita de Aleksander Korĵenkov kaj legita por Halina Gorecka.

La sesa podkasto de La Ondo enhavas artikolon pri Nia trezoro - Fundamento de Esperanto kaj Novelon de Anton Ĉeĥov - Ĉevala familinomo.

La dekunua podkasto de La Ondo enhavas Evelino de James Joyce - Tradukis Russ Williams.

Kaj la dekkvina podkasto enhavas Literaturo - La viro ĉe la sojlo - de Jorge Luis Borges - bellegita per Halina Gorecka.

I should add that Pola-retradio has sections of their twice-weekly radio broadcasts on their website. There you can read while listening:

Kulturkroniko
Novaĵoj
Sciencaj informoj
Felietonoj (nice and long broadcasts!)

Stupidity i installed this and now people try to chat with me, but i know nothing past Saluton...

Based on some of the "binge watching" testimonials in the Listening vs Comprehension (and the case against TV) thread and one of the Duolingo Esperanto Bonus Lessons, I came across Esperanto TV, which I'm liking.

Nun estas la oka tago de la maja Esperanto-sumoo. Kiel via sumoo progresas? Mi nun legas libron de la Strugackij fratoj Pikniko cxe Vojrando (Пикник на обочине ruse). Dum 8 tagoj mi legis 71 pagxojn.

Kiun libron vi legas por la sumoo?

Mi scias, ke mi menciis libroj de Jack Vance kun MP3oj ĉe http://esperanto.us/ sed eble ne estis facile trovi. Do, mi donas kelkajn ligojn:

La Luna Sfingo libro
La Luna Sfinfo MP3oj
La Luna Sfingo - Zipo de MP3oj.

Ligoj al aliaj libroj kaj MP3oj eble estas facile trovi. Estas pli ol 4 horojn de MP3oj.

Want something to read in Esperanto which is cheap? The Esperanto-Asocio de Skotlando has just realeased a Kindle version of the longest piece of original Esperanto literature, John Francis's La Granda Kaldrono. It is over 700 pages in length, so you'll get more than your money's worth, considering it only costs £5.

The book has been out of print since its first print run. And you can download a sample free, just to see what you think. I've bought the book ... and that's with having already proofed it a couple of months back. I think it's well worth trying out

Took the C1 KER writing/reading test on Saturday. It was great. Took all of the four hours available. Well worth the six weeks cramming studying. I definitely recommend taking it if you can. More info on it at my log.

There is an Esperanto Phrasebook with audio in both Esperanto/English and monolingual Esperanto. There are translations. The 100 mp3 audiofiles move pretty quickly. Definitely not too much silence and waiting on the recordings.

https://www.clozemaster.com/ is a neat vocabulary site. Great dashboard. Short lessons. Esperanto and other languages too.
