Anyone know where to download good audiobooks?

I've tried archive.org and limewire, but no such luck. I'm looking for things that don't suck. I suppose specifically I'm in the mood for dystopian books. Like if anyone can tell me where I can find (or send me!) that recording of Jello Biafra reading 1984 or a full recording of Brave New World, or any full recording of a Philip K. Dick novel, I will love you forever.

If you going to tell me a program to look on, I have a mac (so don't suggest soulseek!).

.

That wouldn't work anyway, because I want these in order to listen to them while I work out. It is too hot to do stuff outside so for the last month I'm in AZ I've joined a gym. Don't make me listen to bad 80s music while watching Fox news!!

Did I even tell you that I'm moving back to Michigan? Because I am. In 3.5 weeks.

ooh ooh! I know!

Bittorrent. Download Transmission here, install it, then go to either:

http://thepiratebay.org/
http://www.torrentspy.com/
http://www.mininova.org/

and search for those keywords. There are a lot of audiobook torrents out there. Oh, if you haven't used torrents before it's super easy. Basically you are just downloading a tiny textfile that points your computer to other computers that contain the file. When you click on the downloaded torrent file, Transmission (the bittoreent client) should ope automatically and begin downloading the file you're looking for. I've definitely seen 1984 (don't know about a Jello version) and Brave New World up there.

The preceding does not in any way constitute an endorsement of doing anything that the RIAA says not to do.

P.S. Now you hafta love me forever! Sucker!
