The Christmas season is upon us, so in the seasonal spirit we’ll be doing some Christmas-y books. Dickens will be next, but we’re starting with Old Christmas by Washington Irving. This is one of the books in the OpenLibrary collection, see the beautifulillustrated version here – though we’ll still link to Project Gutenberg for the text file.

One of the best audiolit podcasts out there, for my money, is Miette’s Bedtime Stories. Selection, delivery, atmosphere, (and the accent doesn’t hurt either). Miette reads the way reading should be read. Here she is with Chapter 28 of Psmith.
