Librivox.org - free audiobooks!	Permalink

Recently I've been recording audio books for librivox.org and I thought I'd post the link in case any of you guys ever felt like listening to me intone and warble my way through forgotten works of literature! The idea is that contributors record works in the public domain for the librivox archives so that blind, partially-sighted, and anyone else who wants to listen, can! It's a really great project, I think and has been introducing me to all sorts of works I hadn't heard of. Also, I'm finally going to get round ot some Dostoevsky now that a free audio-book is avaliable! :D The list of stories I've read so far! The catalogue! __________________

This is a great project, Sprocket! Do you record in a studio? I see you have read some of my dear Lucy Maud Montgomery, I am going to listen to you read them now. I have never got around to Dostoevsky myself. Let me know how it is for you. __________________

Wow this is wonderful Sprocket, I am dead impressed...and grateful! the short stories appeal to my somewhat limited audio attention span, i am going to enjoy the childrens' stories and the sci fi most of all! do you think it will extend to poetry? __________________

The site does and I shall look specially for some now! Any requests? :D Also, I don't have a studio - though the acoustics in the computer room of my parents' house are pretty good and I'm learning how to edit the files after recording to clean them up a bit! __________________

well my favourite poets are Rumi, Hafiz, Gibran and Kabir...and I also love Mary Oliver...those off teh top o my head but perhaps the sufi poets are not something that would be widely adored..maybe you could change that though Sprocket! a really great cause, what a giving heart you have ... __________________
