Re: ( solo) Argonauts of the Western Pacific by Bronisław Malinowski

The first (although really the third) chapter is in. Got 57 minutes to spare? :) Fortunately, it is very helpfully divided into subchapters, which should make PLing easier. The reason why I'm starting with this one is because I originally wanted to contribute it to the Non-fiction collection, but th...

Re: ( solo) Argonauts of the Western Pacific by Bronisław Malinowski

OK - all set up as a work in progress I think read the preface and forward as section 0 and the introduction as 01 I the filenames should certainly have the anglicised spelling, I'l investigate whether we can use the Polish spelling as an alternative name and thus search for it - think it would be ...

Re: ( solo) Argonauts of the Western Pacific by Bronisław Malinowski

I tried recording this on Legamus 10 years ago, but I eventually abandoned the project, nibbled in random places and thus hard to salvage, so here's a new effort. I already have one section ready, but I'm planning to move slowly for the time being as I still have my previous solo to finish... and th...

Re: Need help please with copyright status in Poland

Hello from Poland :) The most important thing to know when it comes to copyright in any EU country is the author's death date. If the author died at least 70 years ago, the book is in the public domain for the European Union. If you're searching for a Polish book to read and record, I suggest lookin...

... and 26 too. Gruesome, this one.

We're out of short sections :P The next one is going to be looong, then the next one just plain old long, and then next after that is going to be looooong :P (at least looking at the number of pages)

The pace was perfect for enjoying the description.
Maybe I should cold-read more often :) I'd like to claim Great Mammoth Cave.

Re: Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 102 - jo

Reading it, it does seem to me that just sticking it (chapter 3 of a book, as it is) in this collection, it would probably feel too abrupt... assuming anyone would be interested in listening to it, that is :lol: I think I...

Some beautiful descriptions there. If it sounds like I'm reading slowly, that's because I hadn't done any pre-reading and was trying not to flub too much :mrgreen:
