Self Made Scholar hosts a comprehensive collection of links to online classes in over 80 subjects. They also link to collections of free books and audiobooks.

Nice. They should add Gilbert Strang's linear algebra video lectures, available free at the MIT OpenCourseWare website.

Thank you -- I will definitely use the literature links.

Awesome, I've been looking for non-fiction, edumacational audiobooks!

(Also, I second the Strang linear algebra lectures. He's a bit of an odd duck, but I never understood linear algebra or matrices the first time around and his videos cleared up a lot of things for me.)

The last link isn't nonfiction, edumacational audiobooks. In retrospect, I shouldn't have expected otherwise: Any legal, free audiobooks have to be uncopyrighted. :(

Sweet.

DU, you might look through the Audio and Podcast sections--it looks like there's a few classes available as MP3s.
