Fun :) Lots of us 46-55yos :)

I've just claimed a tiny chapter in Kitty's "World's Story 2: India, Persia, Mesopotamia, Palestine" 79 How the Persians build a house, by S. G. W. Benjamin It was hard to think of a genre I haven't dipped into, but when I saw this, I realized that I've read a ton of Western history but possibly no ...

Hi Kitty,

May I please claim
79 How the Persians build a house, by S. G. W. Benjamin

I've read a lot of Western history, but maybe no Eastern, so this is my choice for the April Adventure

Thank you!

That's great, Jay, and it makes sense -- torrents are happy with slow/dropped connections :)

I didn't know our "Torrent" buttons worked -- I thought they were broken long ago. Haha!

I listen while knitting and sewing too!

You say all your librivox files come from 3rd party or torrent sites -- have you tried downloading directly from our catalog? Our catalog is here: https://librivox.org/search Just as a test, try downloading this book, chosen at random for its fairly small file size: https://librivox.org/bill-doreens...

Oh golly. I just realized that I skipped my usual "listen to the whole chapter after editing" step! It has been so long since I did any recordings that I plain forgot what I was doing. There might actually be ERRORS in there still!

Chapter 2. I love this book!

Holy smoke! That's quite a traffic spike!

I've been registering a TON of new accounts who say they found us via a video by "TheOdd1sOut" on youtube, so I went looking and watched his video. It's all about his learning difficulties and his love of our audiobooks! (He starts talking about how great audiobooks are at about 4:30) https://youtu....

Hey all, I'm just now starting the 2017 3-episode miniseries of Little Women from the BBC. Enjoying it very much so far. I've only read the book once, a million years ago (I know, I know), and I'm wondering how true to the book this particular miniseries is. I know there will be changes, but I'm hop...
