Re: Short Nonfiction Collection, Vol. 049 - jo

I am interested in contributing to this collection with a "scandalous" tale of the author's hatred of bustles, from an issue of the Irish Penny Journal of 1840. There is no author given. How should I adapt the intro? Is there a standard script for an anonymous or uncredited newspaper/magaz...

Novanglus, and Massachusettensis by John Adams & Daniel Leonard

I recently came across this book while reading up on John Adams after watching some of the HBO series starring Paul Giamatti. I had never heard of this book and found it both fascinating historically and as an excellent expression of the debate between those urging loyalty to the crown and those urg...

Re: Pronunciation help: all languages

I'm trying to figure out the pronunciation of the female name Dyveke. The clearest pronunciation I have found online is Swedish and it sort of rhymes with Rebecca with more emphasis on first syllable. But three syllables. Norwegian - similar but emphasis rising on last syllable. The person in the pi...

Re: OPEN [SS] Love Affairs of the Courts of Europe by T.Hall

Thank you! I found it very easy to edit when I caught myself stumbling and paused, then started over. Easy to cut out the unwanted bit. The skip is when I corrected myself "on the fly" and tried to fix it after, so, I will just stop and start a sentence over when I catch myself making an e...

Re: OPEN [SS] Love Affairs of the Courts of Europe by T.Hall

I enjoyed recording on this book so much that, pending approval of section 6, I would like to claim sections 7 and 8 as well. Thanks!

Re: OPEN [SS] Love Affairs of the Courts of Europe by T.Hall

Here is Section 6. It's 17:31. https://librivox.org/uploads/carolin/loveaffairs_06_hall_128kb.mp3 My first attempt at editing so there are a couple less-than-smooth spots, and while it felt like I was reading slowly and LOUDLY, I still came in low in volume and had to use the amplify tool to make it...

Re: Questions about how or whether to read particular things

Thanks for,the great info. by type and stuff I meant the page that is sometimes in the front or back,of a book that says what fonts were used. I'm guessing from the other answers that this would not be read either, generally. Not even sure if that is a thing I older books but I see it sometimes in c...

Questions about how or whether to read particular things

Hi! New here and working up nerve to attempt recording. I love reading aloud and am interested in reading nonfiction. I have a few questions about things that come up in nonfiction works in particular. Do you read or skip, and if you do read, how do you do it: --title and copyright pages --Tables of...
