Re: [GROUP / Literature] Readings from Modern Mexican Authors, by Frederick Starr - loa

I'll review Sosa's most famous works and may set it up in the future, if someone else hasn't yet. I found his biographies of famous Mexican people at least in the original: https://archive.org/details/biografasdemexic00sosa/page/n5/mode/2up there are so many, I think 294 names if I counted correctl...

Help thread for finding book or story titles

I just posted this in the sci-fi thread, but maybe it will reach a larger attention here. And maybe this thread can be used for anybody who needs to find a book or story title he can't recall. A friend of mine is looking for the titles of two stories he remembers reading but can't find anymore. Mayb...

Re: [FULL][Biography/Music]My Musical Life by Walter Damrosch - kit

Here is the update with a second noise reduction. I am mystified by this background noise issue because I don't hear it and it only seems to be an issue sometimes. I actually think this second reduction makes it sound a bit more muffled in comparison with section 13 which had only one noise reducti...

Re: [GROUP / Literature] Readings from Modern Mexican Authors, by Frederick Starr - loa

and here is the interesting article. Sosa wrote some cool biographies. Maybe we should have one of his books in our catalogue.

Re: [GROUP / Literature] Readings from Modern Mexican Authors, by Frederick Starr - loa

I could have a go at 11. Francisco Sosa here, to help out. I hope I don't maim the Spanish and Mexican pronunciations too much. Looking forward to learning a bit about these to me unknown authors.

Re: book detective hunt for you

I asked a friend of mine from that region and he came up with Annerton Pit, by Peter Dickinson, from 1977. Maybe that's what you meant. The boy on the cover indeed looks creepy, with whitish eyes. Not sure he was climbing out of a pit, more like crawling along a rugged path. Here is the book cover, ...
