Librivox World Tour 2012

Post by **Availle** » October 30th, 2011, 12:17 pm

New books of course! The more I'll have to choose from, the better!
I prefer to have a wide selection of topics and countries covered

There should be plenty of fiction and stories from Africa around, or from South America... Where are the great stories from... Zaire or... Peru or... Brunei or... the Fiji Islands or... Greenland or...

Please wait with suggesting finished books once I put out the call in the "Staff Picks" thread, otherwise they may get lost in this one here. I will add the group recordings that are in progress right now to the first post though

But I'll forget. This just reminded me of this one: http://librivox.org/faery-lands-of-the-south-seas/

We do have some African tales in French too (also for future reference) and some Japanese ones too.

I have updated the list in the second post of this thread - just in case anyone wants to help!

All going well this will be finished by it's time slot - and being Maori it can represent all those little south pacific islands on the way to South America

This book of poems would fit nicely here. The poems are listed by location! (from AFGHANISTAN to Turkey in the East)

When the tour features one of the areas, it can be the poem of the week.

There may even be enough poems to feature 4 poems for the month.

Oh, I like that idea! Pity many of them are so short..

And where is "Baluchistan"?

According to wikipedia (so actual accuracy of the answer may vary): Baluchistan is an arid, mountainous region in the Iranian plateau in Southwest Asia; it includes part of southeastern Iran, western Pakistan, and southwestern Afghanistan.

I'm pleased to see Peer Gynt here, though it is overly optimistic that it's done in time... Too many small roles to fill

I have updated the first post with a number of new suggestions - mainly non fiction. Feel free to help with our World Tour!

for the Antarctica part.
I personally loved it

I might have suggested it before, please don't beat me if it has been a staff pick already

No doubt because of the great job done by the BC and MC and the excellent reading of the Postscript.

Damned, I'm démasquéed!

I thought it might have been chosen already. Just glad one of my suggestions made it
