Please sign me up for chapters 9 and 10, listed as Mitchell. Thank you.

Holy cow. I was involved with LibriVox a few years ago (I contributed a chapter to The Secret Agent ), but I had to put these activities on hold while I focused on my graduate studies. Full-time teaching and full-time studying left little room for anything else, I am sad to confess. You should see w...

I must say that I'm enjoying the heck out of being a small part of this community. The project itself is great fun, but being involved in it with nice people like you makes it meaningful. Would I be out of line to suggest a place for us to take a moment to introduce ourselves? I'll start, I guess, '...

Hi Squid: Chapters 7 and 8 are here at 128kbps. I may redo it, but I think I'd better give you what I got or I'll never get anything done. I enjoyed reading this. I'm on the hook for a lengthy section of A Christmas Carol and I need to focus on that next, but I'm perfectly willing to take another se...

I admire the Wikipedia folks for keeping everything as apololitical and as NPOV (neutral...

let's do a faithful version, marked with a beware note, and just a little edit to make a clean version, marked as an edited recording. I must respectfully disagree. A blanket warning for all podcasts would make sense, or a disclaimer in the intro ("This is a LibriVox podcast; some material may...

I think a lot depends on what you think the Gutenberg and LibriVox missions are. If they are meant to be archival, that is to say merely descriptive and not prescriptive, I say read the text as it is. Most of us are smart enough not to be offended or to blame the reader, the Gutenberg people, or Hug...

I confess that one reason my chapter of The Secret Agent has taken me so long to complete is a sudden fear that I suck. In my own podcast, I don't care so much, because I do what I do for myself. This, though, is important. It's significant. It matters. It could even make some kind of difference in ...
