I was thinking about trying to put together a Romantic Reader from Librivox files, and it occurred to me that "reader," in the sense of a collection of various writings with a theme or connection, is probably not the ideal term.  What would one call such a collection?  I suppose I'm being pedantic and that it's probably permissable to continue using the term even though the usage has drifted from the etymology, but it seems like there ought to be a shiny new term.

"Anthology"?  "Collection"?  "Omnibus"?

"Listener"?
