I am about to have eye surgery in a couple weeks. I'm trying to prepare by getting a bunch of audiobooks (lectures would also be good). I've downloaded Beowulf, Gawain and the Green Knight, Paradise Lost, and the Divine Comedy (totally unrelated). I want to immerse myself in the history of English literature, and I don't want to do this by reading Dickens or Twain but by "starting with the Greeks" of English. I won't be able to reliably use my eyes for multiple days, so audiobook versions are necessary.
Audiobooks don't count as reading.

>>24958625Just take some Western canon lists and pick English works from there. Alsohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_literature
>>24958625Just search 'author-name discogs' and there should be countless audiobooks, some by very talented actors, some by the authors themselves, especially for poetry.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1xZt6vwKpI4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WAWaZqDf-VEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARiDhGRX7eghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RGH4p4z4s5A
