Exercise No. 10 Librivox

Librivox is an audio books online database. To me, it is similar to Voice of America. However, it is more delicate and elaborate in many aspect. You can find some very important book in our academic study.

Because of my history major, I search for the history catalog. Some of the item makes me excited. For example, The history of the decline and fall of Roman empire, which is written by Edward Gibbon. As a history lover, you can miss this zenith work in the history society. The period of the book starts from 180 to 1590. It illustrates how West and East Roman Empire collapse. When I was a college student, one of my class is the history of Roman Empire. I have to struggle with the a lot of reading especially  part of this book. If I have this audio book that  time, I probably can read through the article more quickly.

The other is Mary Queen of Scots. This is the topic I have read through during the time I was struggling with my TOFEL IBT test. During that time I read a lot of history about United States and United Kingdom in order to practice English. Things about Queen Mary always makes me curious.  In my opinion, it is rare to find a noble to have the same experience as Queen Mary. She divorced four time. She stayed in Scotland only seven years and in England's prison for nineteen years before execution. In my opinion, her life seems like a funny joke. She is a Queen but lives in prison for major part of her life. She never has a entirely controlling power over Scotland. Her life is always kidnapped by other people, for instance, her fourth husband.

All in all, it is a worth searching website. It renders so much useful materials to read.
