So any bets on when we'll hit 365 days -- a whole YEAR of audio?

I've been listening to the works of LibriVox from the very beginning (even if I didn't join by then). At this time, I listened to all finished recordings and eagerly awaited the next completed works. Well, I've given up that long ago...

There must be some works that wouldn't interest you though. (For me thats the whole philosophy genre)Esther

Yes, while cleaning my house, I thought, LibriVox now makes books about as fast as I could listen to them if it was my full time job.raynr wrote:I've been listening to the works of LibriVox from the very beginning (even if I didn't join by then).

Other than that, I now mostly try listen to all the classic books everyone knows about but noone actually reads, like "Moby Dick" (I never thought that this book is mostly a description of whale hunting and nothing else...). Moreover I often look a the summary and see if it sounds interesting.
