Here’s a plug for a site I belatedly discovered the other
day: Open Culture offers free access
to 650 academic courses, movies (from
Charade to Charlie Chaplain), language lessons, self-help advice,  books (from textbooks to the Harvard
Classics), audiobooks, a list of grants available to women, and much more
cultural and educational  material
“scattered across the Web, and not easy to find.” All free.
