I’m a little old lady, living alone on a small island off the coast of B.C., Canada. A voracious reader all my life I am now visually challenged. Thank you for the many books you’ve read for Librivox. I’ve listened to so many of them. You’ve opened many doors and brought me hours upon hours of pleasure. I love the wide variety of what you read and particularly those relating to nature and the great outdoors.
May the sun shine on your shoulder - always.
Dear good folks at Librivox, and Tadhg Hynes in particular,
I greatly appreciate your work in reading and recording books and distributing them for use free of charge. I can't imagine what time involvement this takes, especially now with Mr. Hynes' 32-hour (or so) "David Copperfield." It's a real dedication.
I first came across Librivox on a little mp3 player I bought off the "Sky Mall" catalog on an airplane (the only thing I ever bought out of that catalog). I paid $100 for that thing, loaded with recordings of 100 classic books, and imagine my surprise when I learned it was just filled with Librivox recordings which I could have done myself for much cheaper.
Fast forward a few years, and I finally have an iPhone and listen to podcasts. I ended up losing that mp3 player, so I rediscovered Librivox through the podcasts. "David Copperfield" is the first one I've heard on podcasts, and I recognize Mr. Hynes, from books I listened to on that mp3 player. I look forward to listening to many more of your podcasts.
This fine lady is an awesome reader. She reads a book like she owns it. At times she reads the book a little fast, but that kept me on the edge of my seat. Her confidence is amazing! I think I could listen to her all day long. The first book I heard her read is “The Grell Mystery”, and once this one is completed by me listening I plan on hearing more from her. Thank you for having such a high quality lady. My hat is off to her.
It was my first audiobook ever, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was bedridden with a bad flu and this book kept me thoroughly entertained at a time when I needed distraction.
I really enjoy Peter’s voice and the way in which he brings out the characters so skilfully. Now I am looking forward to listening to more audiobooks about Dr Nikola!
Many thanks for all you do at librivox and especially Peter.
I am a music & sound artist and often use public domain material for my work. I wanted to thank the following readers for lending me their voices in my recent work ‘Ravens’:
I would really thank you for recording this novel as I really
enjoyed listening to it soooo much through your voice
I would not expected to enjoy an old novel like that,
listening to it before college classes and while driving is
like watching a detective movie in my head.
Philippa. . . Thank you for your brilliant recording of "The Man Who Would Be King". It is most likely the best read audio book I have ever heard. If you are not a professional narrator then you should be. I am excited to hear more of your work. Again, many thanks! https://librivox.org/the-man-who-would- ... d-kipling/
I have spent the past few weeks thoroughly enjoying your Beacon Lights of History. What a great find it was for me. How saddened I was today to find that there are no more left! You have done a fantastic job of getting thru all of these volumes, they are so fascinating and you have done a great job of making them interesting.
Here is one reader who can't wait for the next volume to be completed!
Dear Mr. Evers,
I just finished listening to "Diana Tempest". Another riveting, consistent, easy to follow, and melodious work of art by you. You are the best; what a voice.
I don't have "LibriVox" bookmarked, but I do have "LibriVox - Simon Evers" bookmarked.
Many thanks for all your hard work,

Hello, I would like to thank you for this perfect reading of this perfect book. Really felt I lived in middlemarch with Dorothea, Celia and all. I miss them and Margret’s voice.

and...
Thank you, Margaret Espaillat for your wonderful reading of Middlemarch by George Eliot. It gave me many hours of pleasure!
My wife and I listened to your recording of My First Summer in the Sierra on a road trip. (https://librivox.org/my-first-summer-in ... john-muir/) I don’t remember exactly when except that it was maybe the first year of our marriage, which would be in 2012. It was our first librivox audiobook and you did a spectacular job, setting the narration bar high enough that we have not yet listened to another librivox recording that has met it. Thank you very much for your fantastic job and hard work.
I had wanted to send a thank you, for some time now, and was happy when I came across the "send a thank you" just after finishing The Elusive Pimpernel.
I have been a huge fan of audio books since I was in high school. (it's been about 20+ years) I have enjoyed your readings more than any other. All I have heard so far has been smooth, yet still able to mesh, in my opinion, perfectly with wherever the story goes...Beautifully done, every time. Again, thank you so very much for the long hours you've given, so that we all can enjoy these wonderful treasures.
A note of thanks to Tony Addison for his masterful reading of Wilkie Collin's The Woman in White Version 2. Tony's mastery of dialogue and character is apparent from the very first chapter of this fine novel and carries through to the end.. Thanks again, Tony.

You are by far my favorite, and my sons favorite reader.
Your method, rhythm, annunciation, every aspect of your delivery enhances the material.
I don’t think my son would even bother with classic sci-fi if not for your talents.
In addition to voicing my praise and appreciation,
I guess I should also take a moment to beg you to please please please narrate some more sci-fi!
Right away….. I think another 150 titles might tide us over for a while…
Little Fuzzy would be a great place to start.
Again, thanks a million!
