Re: 'Thank You' messages for LibriVox readers - continued

I want to express the warmth I felt while listening to Availle reading Jose Rizal's El Filibusterismo. Both from the work itself and from Availle's reading.

Re: Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 103 - jo

Thanks for the PLing, Sue. I'll consider making the change, I'm definitely OCD enough for that. ;-) Yes, Fermat's Theorem has been proved by Andrew Wiles in 1993, and he promptly (and deservedly) got famous for it. He worked on it for 10+ years, solo and without telling anybody to boot, which is ext...

Re: Most popular public domain works in LV?
