New Deal of the Week at Downpour

• Stoner by John Williams ($5.95) -- exp 19 Jun

William Stoner is born at the end of the nineteenth century into a dirt-poor Missouri farming family. Sent to the state university to study agronomy, he instead falls in love with English literature and embraces a scholar’s life, far different from the hardscrabble existence he has known. And yet as the years pass, Stoner encounters a succession of disappointments: marriage into a “proper” family estranges him from his parents; his career is stymied; his wife and daughter turn coldly away from him; a transforming experience of new love ends under threat of scandal. Driven ever deeper within himself, Stoner rediscovers the stoic silence of his forebears and confronts an essential solitude.

I just found this one on Naxos Audiobook's home page. Apparently they are introducing .m4b (iTunes format) downloads from their site, and to promote this they are offering some free titles here. The titles available are:

* "Call of the Wild" by Jack London (seems like everyone is offering this now days...)
* "Northanger Abbey" by Jane Austen (at 2.5 hours, likely the Abridged version)
* "Famous People in History, Volume 1" by Nicolas Soames

I have no idea how long these will be available so if you're interested don't delay.

Enjoy!
