Hey guys,
I found this website while googling for additional resources to supplement the ones I have. There are a bunch of history books you can download in audio and text ebooks. Especially the 6 volume "History of the United States". I think it's the fourth one down.
Enjoy!

I actually listened to a significant chunk of this book when I thought I would have to take a lit test. It really opened my eyes to literature in general and changed my view of especially poetry. The author did a great job showing how poetry and literature was shaped by, and in turn shaped, current events and politics throughout history. He also showed how poetry fed literature.

I never liked poetry until I found a history of it. It's really fascinating, actually.

Henry Augustin Beers (1847-?), native of Buffalo, NY and professor of English at Yale, with the help of John Fletcher Hurst (1834-1903), Methodist bishop and first Chancellor of American University, has written a sweeping thousand 900 year history of English literature, up to the end of the 19th century. Although at times biased and sometimes misguided (as when he dismisses Mark Twain as a humorist noteworthy in his time but not for the ages), his research is sound and his criticism is interesting and quite often very balanced. In addition, the last chapter of each part is Hurst’s synopsis of religious and theological literature in the language. This book is interesting for its point of view, but also useful as a jumping-off point for those interested in reading the classics. (Summary by Kalynda)

Then there's this book for when you can't sleep...
