MP3 players such as the iPod give students new ways to access and enjoy works of literature that can be overwhelming when first met in book form. Works by authors such as Homer, Virgil, Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, Dickens, and others use language (often in translation from the original Greek, Latin, Italian, or Old English) that differs from modern English in ways that make reading it from a book difficult on first encounter. But a skilled narrator can bring these works to life and help students develop a solid understanding of plot, character, and emphasis. Coupled with free lectures from iTunes U, students can take control of their own education and develop a solid understanding of these works that will make reading them on paper both more enlightening and more enjoyable.
