The SFFaudio Podcast #238 – The Invisible Man by H.G. Wells, read by Cathy Barratt (for LibriVox.org).
This audiobook, 4 hours 35 minutes, is complete and unabridged.
Griffin, a scientist, devoted himself to research into optics – he invented a chemical that could change his body’s refractive index to that of air – he absorbs no light, he reflects no light – he is completely invisible.
First published in Pearson’s Magazine, June 12, 1897.

You folks should do a discussion of this work.
Why haven’t you heard a READALONG about H.G. Wells’ famous novel…
THE INVISIBLE MAN
…on the SFFaudio Podcast?
Well, it’s a complicated story. But basically it exists, but it’s INVISIBLE
See there’s THIS AUDIOBOOK in the SFFaudio Podcast
and then instead of a READALONG there’s a discussion camouflaged as a “REVIEW” on Luke Burrage’s Science Fiction Book Review Podcast

and then, just because there’s more than one method and purpose and reason to make the invisible more visible we did a whole other show on INVISIBILITY and SMOKE by Donald E. Westlake

and finally, because I’d been driven mad by the power of invisibility I wrote up a giant blog post entitled “Commentary: The History and Fiction of Invisibility” which talks about the history of INVISIBILTY – and now thanks to Google (and Twitter) destroying the webbased blogosphere – its basically completely…INVISIBLE
