8 Hour flight i have an ipod touch 2nd gen 32GB what to put on it?

Ok so i’m going on an 8 hour flight and i get realllyyy bored and i hate the smell of planes I have an ipod touch 32gb 2nd gen but im not sure on what to put on it; i have a lot of DVD’s and i have about 50 of them on ipod file though, sometimes i feel sick looking down at my ipod screen I easily get bored with JUST listening to music. I would play games but they drain the battery wayyyyy to quickly. I was thinking about audiobooks but i’m 14 and dont want to spend a tenner on an audiobook on the itunes store and my dad probably wont let me use his card on any other website. I was looking at audiobooks on the public domain but most of them are not of my liking (e.g. dont really want to listen to Shakespeare,Sherlock Holmes etc.). I will list a few books i like: The Harry Potters, The Cherub series, Eragon series and the Lord of the rings ( the hobbit). I like some podcasts (i am into tech ones and funny ones). So my questions are what can i put on my ipod to entertain me bearing in mind what i have just said. Can i get free audiobooks of my liking from anywhere?(LEGAL)Any good places where i can download free legal movies like thehuntforgollum.com/? Thanks in AdvanceOhhhh um just realised that you cannot download The Hunt For Gollum but any websites which offer the same kind of material and are virus free and free would be appreciated

Hokusai, Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji

Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji (富嶽三十六景, Fugaku Sanjūrokkei) is an ukiyo-e (浮世絵, “pictures of the floating world”) series of large, colour woodblock prints created between 1826 and 1833 by the Japanese master of the brush and skilled draftsman, Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849). This series marked the beginning of Hokusai’s courtship of the great mountain regarded as the source of the secret of immortality, and his effort to capture Fuji from a variety of different places and distances, in different seasons, weather conditions and telling context. The first 36 were included in the original publication and, due to their popularity, ten more were added after the original publication. Hokusai drew each of the images on paper, or, more precisely, onto “washi”, the Japanese paper, and then he glued them onto a plank of wood, usually cherry wood, using the outlines given by the drawings for cutting the wood block. Hokusai followed the Nishiki-e (錦絵, “brocade pictures”) method of using multiple blocks for separate portions of the image, allowing him to use a wide range of colours, and to achieve incredibly complex and detailed images. All images are faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art that are in the public domain. Original thirty-six 1:32 1. The Great Wave Off Kanagawa 1:37 2.
