If you're a huge Anna Akhmatova fan like me you will love this site:

http://www.akhmatova.org/

All in Russian but it has a compelte collection of all her poetry plus many other interesting links.

Russian Poetry

I just found a fantastic site that has about every Russian poet you can imagine along with all of their poems. The entire site is in Russian so sorry no English translations but for those of you interested in Russian Poetry this is a great resource:

Hebrew Audio Books

I ran across this site:

http://www.sonicbooks.co.il/index.php?cPath=29

that sells audiobooks in Hebrew. Each one costs around $20 and you download it as soon as you pay for it. It stinks they aren't free but I'll tell you after exhaustive searches around the internet audiobooks in hebrew seem to be pretty difficult to find. Most of what is out there are religious materials which - lets face it - modern atheists like us just aren't really into ;) So the good thing about this site is it does offer children's books for those of you starting out in Hebrew and modern Israeli literature for those up to the challenge.

Isabel Allende Books and Audio

For all you Isabel Allende fans out there I found a great site that has lots of her books (in Spanish) in PDF format and a few of them even have mp3 to go along with it. All FREE.
