If MOAR Volume II, Teutonic Mythology, doesn't become available, anyone who is interested in the subject might consider the four volumes of Teutonic Mythology by Jakob Grimm (yes, one of those Grimms) available on Internet Archive and, I believe, Google Books. To quote from Children's Literature (Li...

There seems to be a complete version of that EB on the Internet Archive, copied from Google Books: there are so many editions of the EB on that source, however, that I didn't take the time to make comparisons.

Audacity 'bumps and grinds'

If the problem in this topic has already been discussed, please feel free to direct me to the appropriate messages. It's kind of driving me insane. This has occurred using Audacity 1.3.3 and 1.3.4, with a few other programs open and with no others; connected, or disconnected. Furthermore, I can neve...

I've been informed of errors that I made in my version of Lincoln's Second Inaugural, not read about until after the Nonfiction Collection was posted. I take it that it's (a) too late or not possible to >hrrumm!hak! kaf< have it removed from that collection so the corrected speech can be included in...

Virtually none of the following will do much good with respect to whether it's ok to do a reading of this book, but I feel led to share it any way.
