Re: What if I Suck?
When I first joined Librivox in 2015, I had a lot of anxiety about how my voice sounds, so I tried to contribute a chapter, but wasn’t able to go through with it. Now I am feeling more confident as a person and hope to start contributing for real.

What is the secret to finding happiness?
Hey,
I’m a young person, and I often find myself despairing or feeling unhappy about life and the way that the world is. I’m wondering if anyone here has any advice. How can I live a happy life? What is the secret?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts,
Ben

Re: In Memoriam
Rest in peace to all of the volunteers of times gone by. Ray Kasper gave me a lot of laughs with his dramatic recordings of Shakespeare. I’ll try to check out some of the others.

Hi Tony, Just wanted to say I fully support your project and have loved listening to some of your other recordings (The Brothers Karamazov and Job (KJV)). I loved the passion with which you read. I am sorry to hear that you are not well. I have read the Canterbury Tales in middle English and it is a...

No problem, currently I've listened to six of your recordings and will continue to go through more.
