Hi BT, I must say, that Wireless Magazine is wildly fun to browse . . .

I've added a bit to your titles, so somebody looking for Anita Loos would find your recordings. Since she is not the author, a search wouldn't bring them up without some mention of her name. If you have any better wording you would like, let me know.

For Hugh's sake in proofing, I'll mention that the interview is on page 35 of Vol. 10, No. 2, the November 1922 issue.

Hi David, Thanks for this informative read. :) 3% on the paper plus 5% on the book; it's a wonder they didn't tax the printing ink!

Hi Sue & Hugh

May I submit this recording of an article entitled "On Gardening", by R.F. Murray, from The Gentleman's Magazine, Volume 265, July to December, 1888, with a length of 14:54:

MP3: https://librivox.org/uploads/knotyouraveragejo/snf036_ongardening_murray_gb_128kb.mp3

Text source: https://archive.org/stream/gentlemansmagaz80unkngoog#page/n139/mode/2up

I'm pretty sure that the R.F. Murray who is credited with this article is Robert Fuller Murray, who was born in Massachusetts in 1863, moved with his father to Britain when he was six years old, and died in 1894 at the age of 30. He was apparently also known as The St. Andrew's Man, after the town and the university there which he attended. In the 1880s he was contributing pieces to various periodicals, but unfortunately I've been unable to definitely link him with this article, or with The Gentleman's Magazine. Robert Murray was mainly a poet, and two volumes of his poems were published, both of them in PG. The one entitled "Robert F. Murray: His Poems" has a long introduction concerning his life, written by his friend, Andrew Lang.

I introduced and ended the recording as written by Robert F. Murray, but if you think this should be changed to just R.F. Murray (in case I've got the wrong author :) ) I'll re-record those two bits and re-submit. Thanks,

Garth

Hi there... this is brandnew on gutenberg.org, and probably one of the few modern things we can read for Librivox.

It's called "Earthquakes" and is by the US Department of the Interior / The US Geological Survey from 1996.

I'm not in the US, so I'm not sure if I am allowed to read this to begin with. Besides, I have already contributed to this collection :wink: so may somebody else have fun with it!
Cheers, Ava.

Hi Garth, Happy Thanksgiving! Sorry for my delay in responding . . . my e-mail hasn't been updating me on LibriVox and, instead of checking nonfiction in person, I've just been bemoaning how slow things are--talk about a ostrich in the sand mentality! : :oops: I'll check out this Robert Murray thing and post a bit later!

Hi Availle, Thanks for the suggestion :) I'm sorry to be so slow in responding! As I told Garth, my e-mail wasn't showing any activity on this thread and I didn't have enough sense to check in person! :? You can certainly read more than one selection. I would think it would be ok to read "Earthquakes" even from a European base, but, in any case, I see Jo has given you another interesting possibility. Best wishes,
