LibriVox Forum

Many many many admin team or non-admin team librivoxers are very industrious. I in fact felt lots of them were just like long-time friends by listening to their readings long before I signed up in this forum. Not so many listeners would have a chance to know librivoxers working behind the stage like...

Umm, Anna from the Netherlands...... Never listened to any of her recordings(did I miss them?), but saw her friendly posts everywhere; Her dedicating to proof-listening is quite impressive; one can easily feel the generosity and warmth from her posts,too. She must be a nice person with a cheerful pe...

Adding a short Chinese summary for Liaozhai zhiyi. I am still on a biz trip and don't have much time for reading now. 《聊斋志异》，清代短篇小说集，是蒲松龄的代表作，在他40岁左右时基本完成，此后不断有所增补和修改。“聊斋”是他的书屋名称，“志”是记述的意思，“异”指奇异的故事。全书有短篇小说491篇，内容十分广泛，多谈狐、魔、花、妖，以此来概括当时的社会关系，反映了17世纪中国的社会面貌。书中写的是一个花妖鬼狐的世界，既有对如漆墨黑的社会现实的不满，又有对怀才不遇、仕途难攀的...

David, here’s an Arabic poem (got my reluctant sweetheart to read finally:D) I don’t really quite speak Arabic, but it’s one of his native languages and I know my man’s quite smart at picking up language. I’d love him to be name as geniecode(forum name) and Bc(catalog name). Poem name: Alwatan (mean...

Please substitute Chinaknot 1 with his forum name walkerc and user name Wc, thanks!
Sunny read 97 in suchuan dialect, please change the knot name to her forum ID as well. She'd like to be listed as SunnyQ for her user name.

I have nonew recordings to this vol3 any more.

Aww, you are surely fast, David, though that story doesn't sound really funny to me.

p.s.

I have to be away for a couple of weeks or two.
Will still work on my shares in the two parallel projects when having time.

Good lucks to all!

The only reason I didn't do it straight away last night is that it's a big job. I thought if I could avoid it, I would. Uh, Is it? Anyways, if there is anything I can help, please tell me. I don't mind spending time on this book at all. Personally, I am making footnotes of every Giles' story and it...

That's all right, understand, David.

About the footnotes, I thought it was quite complicated...
Nice, I would just follow your example then

Oh I'd really name them rather numbering them, but I am afraid some of them are still preferred to the numbers for the time being...

So here are #6 & #7.

You can see I've managed to get two resigster and help us with the Chinese liaozhai tho.

Hey David, here are the last two recordings I submhttp://librivox.org/forum/posting.php?mode=reply&t=9750it for vol 3, my Shanghai friend couldn't make it today so I think I will collect his voice for the next volume. These two are in Hainan and Shandong dialects. :D :D http://upload.librivox.or...

So far David set Target completion date of this project: end June 2008

Oh, that's a good question and something we really need to deal with before hitting the road! The English text we read from is the 1916 version of Giles' translation scanned and uploaded to Internet by independent scholar Todd Compton. The original contents of that book written by Giles is, of cours...

Thanks both, Jc and David! Can I do the PL for this project(apart from those read by myself)? And Cloud Mountain mentioned he would read some in English,too. 8) 8) Btw, David, I'd love to write short book reviews in both Chinese and English on Pu and Giles' books, as well as serving as a short intro...

Thanks for agreeing on PL my Mandarin, Jc! Hugs.... Among the first twenty, the "Planting A Pear-Tree 卷1 種梨" and the "Mr. Chu, The Considerate Husband 卷2 祝翁" are the shortest but equally interesting and very beautifully written in Chinese. The 祝翁 is a wonderfully weird romantic s...

Thanks for signing up, Sunny and Walker. You two are too sweet, Hugs~~:9: I am really glad to have you both as Named friends rather than the Numbered Knots! We've got so many to read, and the Chinese speakers are still very rare here! Walker has read the very first Liaozhai story in Cantonese for us...
