Hi there, I though of having this thread pinned mainly because I am looking for sites that have audiobooks that can be listened online without subscription. So if you have any in mind, could you please share?

So far I know only a few of them and they can be inter-related, let's say:

Apart from that, if you have something else to say, please do feel free to use this thread!

I will do my best to post something every week. I have to admit I mostly listen to non-fiction audiobooks, but not exclusively.

The Dispossessed is a science fiction novel written by Ursula K. Le Guin and published in 1974. The novel is set in a fictional universe and tells the story of two planets, Urras and Anarres, and their relationship with each other. The novel explores themes of anarchism, socialism, and the struggle for freedom and equality.

The audiobook version of The Dispossessed is narrated by Don Leslie and was released in 2008. The audiobook is 13 hours and 25 minutes long

The story of The Dispossessed is told through the eyes of the protagonist, Shevek, a physicist from Anarres who travels to Urras to share his research with the scientists there. Anarres is a planet that was settled by anarchists who left Urras in search of a better life. Anarres is a harsh and barren planet, but the people who live there have created a society based on the principles of anarchism and socialism. There is no government or hierarchy on Anarres, and everyone works together for the common good.

Urras, on the other hand, is a planet that is divided into two nations, A-Io and Thu. A-Io is a capitalist society, while Thu is a socialist society. Shevek is fascinated by the differences between the two planets and wants to share his research with the scientists on Urras in the hope of creating a better future for both planets. (...)
