For Audio book fans and learning

I was just reading the AudioFiles magazine (for audio books lovers) and they have a new web page to connect Audio Listeners to each other (a social network) where listeners, narrators, authors and fans of audio books can go to get information or discuss books. The web site is called ABC or Audiobook Community http://www.audiobookcommunity.com/ . There are many options, but one I thought might be helpful to some patrons (I just started to look at the sight so don't know the full depth of what it can offer) is one called "Learn Out Loud". It is listed on the Right hand side if you scroll down in a list of audio related items. When I looked at the sight it lists all kinds of information from Bio to Science etc. Some materials are free to listen to and some are paid so you do have to be a bit careful.
Besides that web page you can also look at Audio File magazine for new and upcoming Audio Books. Haven't had a chance to explore all aspects but this it looks promising.
