Books You Would Like to HEAR

78 replies
I am in the process of developing a site that is taking all the classic self help books and converting them to mp3 and was wondering what specific books you would like to have converted into audio books? I already have over 75 of the classics like think and grow rich, etc and need some more esoteric classics if you can think of any.They can be self help, spiritual, religious, etc

They must be in the public domain...not anything recent...let me know what u want to hear to improve your life ;-)

Thanks

Barry

    Do you have," As a Man Thinketh?" That's one of my all time favorites. Also, the book of Proverbs from the Bible would be pretty cool to have on audio.

    How about the "Science of getting rich."

    That actually reminded me that the book I would like to have on audio is "Scientific Advertising" by Claude Hopkins which is more for copywriting but in the public domain I believe

        Hi I think "The law of success in sixteen steps" by Napoleon Hill would be the icing on the cake so to speak. However its made of two volumes totaling I think around 1400 pages in the text form ???

    Hi,

    Thanks for the input..just curious. Would you prefer the recording to include the verse numbers or just to read one chapter at a time without the verse numbers? I think the verse numbers every few sentences might be a distraction but wanted a opinion..Thanks


    Hey, I got your message. Just didn't have enough posts yet to respond.
    From my standpoint, it would be a distraction to break it down in verses. But I think most "old timers" probably would prefer it that way. The younger generation probably would prefer not to have the verse numbers. At least that's my thinking.

      Thanks for the input...I went to libravox to see how they did it and most of the recordings specify the chapters and not the verses so I went that way..so it's a lot cleaner, thanks again

      They are more classic literature oriented...like mark twain,Dorian grey, books of the western canon, etc. They don't have any classic self help books like Napoleon Hill, Wallace Wattles, or anything that we will have, I always check first to see if there is any audio version of our books available before we record. In addition, the quality of libravox recordings is all over the place..Our focus is self help, motivation, spirituality, etc. We will have The Law of Success Course by Napoleon Hill which is hard to find and nowhere else on audio, over 25 hours of audio, The Course in Miracles, over 125 Hours of Audio, Spiritual classics like The Imitation of Christ and a lot of unique content that is not available anywhere else..

    cwilliams is RIGHT - those books are great and there are quite a few good possibilities in there. Here's the TOC for the 'Success Classics' and the self help is a tab at the top (there are others there too).
    Butler-Bowdon.com - free self-development commentaries

    The date is listed there too which should help with copyright analysis.
