I recently binged public domain audiobooks while woodworking and came close to chop, cut or crush myself on Jules Verne’s not so romantic views on women, Africans, employees, etc. Capitaine Nemo is different, just beware "5 semaines en ballon".

Monte Cristo is a good summer read. The 3 musketeers and the follow ups are also great.

I get these audiobooks from librivox and litteratureaudio.com. Fantastic work is done there.
