I tend to like the volunteer-read audiobooks on librivox and recently was curious about their Sherlock Holmes books (never read or listened to before), but I’m wondering what else is out there and popular in the community.
don quixote is great, i reread it recently and had a great time
If ebooks are acceptable to you, then Standard Ebooks is the shit. Proper classics, formatted in a nice way, ready to drop onto whatever reading device you have.
Frankenstein. If you’ve never read it, the caricature of what it is has done it no justice. It is an incredible book.

The count of Monte cristo by Alexander Dumas: https://librivox.org/the-count-of-monte-cristo-by-alexandre-dumas/
The count of
Monte Cristo is hands down my favourite book that I’ve read. Absolutely a must-read.
I just finished count of monte cristo! I’ve never read a more epic and fulfilling revenge story. It was entertaining the whole way through.
https://www.gutenberg.org/ has pretty much all of them
“We” by Yevgeny Zamyatin is the book that inspired both “Brave New World” and “1984” and my favorite of the three. If you go looking for it in paper form it’s sometimes credited to Eugene Zamyatin, as Eugene is the English version of Yevgeny.
I notice that you specifically mentioned audiobooks, but if you’re interested in written ebooks, check out Standard EBooks
They take public domain books and run them through a detailed process of editing and typesetting them to create beautiful versions.
Personally, I’m a big fan of The Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc by Mark Twain. There is an audiobook version on Librevox too!
Allan Quatermain reads like an indiana jones book written in the 19th century.
I also second everything written by Dumas and Verne.
