Ooooh, this shipwrecked one is my favorite of the de Grandin stories so far; it kinds of reminds me of 20000 Leagues under the Sea! And the reading sounds great; in that first long part (Section 5), I noticed just 2 little things: 11:49 for my flailing legs (not: flagging) 25:16 this interment which...

Yay to end-of-allergies! I'm just checking in to say that the past week has been bonkers for me, but I should be able to get caught up on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm so curious to hear the new story!!!

Wow, this is going to be so intense to listen to! It was great to hear your voice again... but what a contrast to the fun storytelling in the Tales book. Of course, even though this is not a book of tales, there are so many stories *implied* in these pieces, and grim stories they are. Especially liv...

I would love to learn more about how all this played out in Australia! Here in North America, the public domain materials cover a whole spectrum from the worst sort of misrepresentation and appropriation imaginable to some work done with a real respect for other cultures. I am so grateful for the wo...

I would be very glad to PL for this one!!!

Allegedly, this chapter and the note at the end, were a point of controversy. Until someone shows a guide to the errors that are supposed to exist in frazers works, then I don't see any reason why the criticism stands. As far as I have read, nothing stands out as a belligerent attitude from the vic...

https://librivox.org/uploads/brownrottger/goldenboughviscapegoat_16_frazer_128kb.mp3 Wow, all that information about the Book of Esther was fascinating! I've read it multiple times, but I never guessed at these connections, like Marduk and Mordecai. I wonder if all the Near Eastern archaeology in t...

Thanks, Larry! And yes to the cover; it's so cool! I don't know who made it (not me; I have zero graphic design skills ha ha), but it makes me happy whenever I see the cover at the Archive. I hope we will get lucky with the 1927 cover too! Hi Laura You can always find out who did the cover art by d...

Wow! So impressive and very cool. Could you post this on the LibriVox Readers and Listeners FB page? https://www.facebook.com/groups/46088852996 PS: Very cool cover you did for this book! Thanks, Larry! And yes to the cover; it's so cool! I don't know who made it (not me; I have zero graphic design...

Not sure if people are still subscribed to this forum, but I wanted to let you know that the Internet Archive blog post about this project finally came out... maybe it will get us some readers, ha ha. Anyway, here it is: https://blog.archive.org/2024/04/29/new-audiobook-anthology-highlights-public-d...

Not sure if people are still subscribed to this forum, but I wanted to let you know that the Internet Archive blog post finally came out, and they gave me a chance to highlight the BEAUTIFUL job that Anne did with this reading... hopefully it will bring some more listeners to the book! The blog post...

Section 15 was very interesting! I did not know about all these different Cronia in ancient Greece! My apologies for not getting to section 16 this weekend; usually I can get caught up on Sunday but this weekend was kind of hectic. I should be able to do Section 16 tomorrow (my Monday) --- it is exc...

Oooooh, ALL GOOD. I love the idea that it was a nun who cursed the evil guy into becoming a snake. And the description of the sword fight was really cool; very cinematic. I could totally see it happening, ha ha. I think the story held your attention too because the reading was super; I didn't notice...

Section 3 is ready to PL: https://librivox.org/uploads/icequeen/weirdtalesjulesdegrandinvol1_03_quinn_128kb.mp3 @ 46:07 Ahhhh, from gorilla to SNAKE. Eeeeeek! I haven't a clue how there could be such a snake in Rouen....... but we will find out soon enough, ha ha. Section 3 0:14 The Rue des Bataill...

Section 1 is PL OK and Section 2 sounds good with the full ending (even if it is STILL a mystery at the end ha ha)... I noticed one little phrase that dropped out to fix there in the new part you just recorded: Section2 26:09 but don't know his name ("his name" missing) And now I am going ...
