LibriVox Forum

I've just come across this over on Reddit and wondered, since it's being utilized by archive.org, if this will be something Librivox will be able to take advantage of. An obscure copyright law is letting the Internet Archive distribute books published 1923-1941 EDIT: Also relevant: https://blog.arch...

Just wanted to pop and in and tell you I hadn't forgotten about my last two poems. It's been a chaotic couple of weeks. I'll get to them as soon as I can.

I'm sorry for not getting "Germophobia" uploaded yet; I have a good portion of it recorded and edited, but got busy with other things. I should have it up tomorrow or Tuesday.

Thanks for letting me record these! I can't believe I've never read him before now. Here are my first four poems. Footnotes under the title (if any) are included. Section - Title - Length - URL ================== 42 - Flowers - 1:20 - https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/poeticalworks_042_hood_128kb...

Hi John, Sure, there's room! You're most welcome to add "germaphobia" to this volume--four kinds of germs on cats whiskers?... it sounds like a good rant. I'll put you in the MW for #15.

Doesn't it though?
Thanks; I'll get to it tomorrow.

Sue, I was just looking at the latest releases on Gutenberg and found a really fun article called "Germophobia" (by Helen S. Gray). Being a nurse myself, I'd love to record it. Do you have room for me to do another, or should I wait for the next collection? The text is at https://www.guten...

Hi Carolin! If it's alright, I'd like to take the following sections, please: 42 - Flowers 44 - Ruth 68 - Lines 69 - Stanzas 162 - The Carelesse Nurse Mayd 170 - Playing at Soldiers I've never read Hood before, but have spent the last hour or so happily losing myself in the text. What a bawdy bard h...

Eep. I did miss that, didn't I? I'm sorry about that! Thanks for the fix.

I saw you were doing a solo on the Nootka - I plan to listen to that. Something worthwhile in going to the original source. Now about editors - I think if they were working with Bierce and they agreed on changes, fine, but to unilaterally change the wording of an author's published document on an e...

I'm so glad to see the poetry collections are still going! Here are three more: 1: "The Owl" by Edward Thomas (1878 – 1917) Text URL: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/22423/pg22423.html Duration: (01:23) MP3 URL: https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/spc171_theowl_jnd_128kb.mp3...

I could not find any other version of this that was close to the one on my Kindle (which is a shame, because I think it's better), so I read the version previously linked at https://books.google.com/books?id=X2lKAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA192&dq=ambrose+bierce+%22did%2Bwe%2Beat%2Bone%2Banother?%22&hl...

Exciting project, Carolin! I'd like to read section 38 ( "Prince Chéri"), please.

Ah, my apologies. The one I read is from a Kindle collection https://www.amazon.com/Complete-Ambrose-Bierce-Delphi-Classics-ebook/dp/B00BNWVP5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1501896767&sr=8-1&keywords=delphi+ambrose ). I thought they were the same. I'll either find the same version or read the ...

Hi Sue and Jo! I'm just getting my feet wet again after being away for a while. I recorded this little piece to submit, but if you'd like to save it for another volume or pass altogether, that's fine, as I didn't ask you first. :) It's a quirky, very short, satirical essay by Ambrose Bierce called &...
