I was catching up on a bunch of feeds this evening, and was struck by two posts on Boing Boing (1, 2) pointing to a couple of really terrific pieces of writing that have recently been made available free online:
- “The Merchant and the Alchemist’s Gate” by Ted Chiang is available as an mp3 (approx 75 minutes)
- Jon Armstrong’s Grey (Campbell Award nominee) is now available as a multi-format download, as well as a Podiobooks audio feed.
I’ve read both of these in the dead tree versions, so I’ll be passing on these…but you should definitely give them a click. The Chiang story is particularly brilliant.
