Free Audiobook - Walden

For Earth Day, Tantor Audio is giving away the unabridged audiobook of Walden ($6.41 Kindle), by Henry David Thoreau, narrated by Mel Foster. The download is a huge zip file containing the book in MP3 format (compatible with Kindle), in 20 parts.

Book Description
Walden is the classic account of two years spent by Henry David Thoreau living at Walden Pond near Concord, Massachusetts. The story is detailed in its accounts of Thoreau's day-to-day activities, observations, and undertakings to survive out in the wilderness for two years. Thoreau's journal is an exquisite account of a man seeking a more simple life by living in harmony with nature. In today's fast-paced consumer-driven society, the austere lifestyle endorsed by Thoreau is as relevant and refreshing as ever.
