I want to thank Elizabeth Barr for her outstanding reading of Villette. Her voice of Lucy Snowe was beyond outstanding. I have no words to describe her. Thank you! Thank you! For giving us this wonderful reading of Villette. 5 stars, Here! Here!
Thank you very warmly Mr. Neufeld for so professionally undertaking the excellent reading / performance of The Republic. What an undertaking! I have heard other readings of yours as well and have come to very much appreciate your talent and style. Your abilities have sincerely enriched my life and work.
I do not watch television and I work a computer job. I find it very enjoyable to listen to your theater as I work. Thank you very much indeed and have a very pleasant day.
You did an absolutely wonderful job reading the two Jack Boyle books (Boston Blackie and Boston Blackie: Stories Around the Opium Lamp) that I just finished listening to. Although both these books are in the public domain, I could not find a downloadable copy anywhere on the internet, and I could not find a copy at the library. Your reading enabled me to enjoy these two books. Although you mispronounced Spokane (it is pronounced spo-can , not spo-cane, a very minor and common error), your reading was very professional and a joy to listen to. I do not know how you managed to do it so well. If I look for other books on Librivox, I will definitely seek out any versions read by you.
My first exposure to Boston Blackie was the Chester Morris movies (I think I have seen all of them). I have also listed to some the radio dramas. But, I wanted to hear the story of Boston Blackie before he was later reformed on the radio and in the movies.
I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your recording of Julian’s “Revelations” (https://librivox.org/revelations-of-divine-love-by-julian-of-norwich/). I have listened to at least a portion of it most days for the last three or so years and it continues to help center, encourage, and instruct me even after many dozens of hearings.
It’s impossible for me to imagine a more fitting—thoughtful, nuanced, and touching—reading than you give the text. Thank you for the time you spent in preparation and in recording. To this listener your recording has been a great and precious gift indeed.
Dearest Mary Ann, i am so so grateful for Your readings!!!
i've just listened to The Amazing Interlude; and i found You through The Thousand Mile Walk.
You're blessing people Mary Ann!!! ))
Thank you for your reading of the 1963 novel Space Viking by H. Beam Piper (https://librivox.org/space-viking-by-h-beam-piper/). As always I enjoyed your pace and smooth delivery. I look forward to finding and listening to more of your contributions on LibriVox.
Thank you Laurie Anne Walden for your excellent and delightful reading of F Scot Fitzgerald’s short stories! Listening to them has brought me great pleasure and after recommending them to a friend we now have a running competition to best mimic your enunciation of “Bernice Bobs Her Hair”.
I finally want to thank you for reading and sharing Moby Dick with me! It's funny that I don't know you, yet through hours of reading and listening to your voice I feel kind of familiar to you.
The reason for me reading the book was a Moby Dick based performance that took place this August as part of an annual festival in Linz, Upper Austria.
Here you can see a teaser of that performance (in German): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WV4hnO-KGUg
What I did was reading the collins classics version of the book in parallel to listening to your reading, which helped me a great deal in improving my English pronunciation.
I would like to thank the reader Caroline Sophie.
I just discover Librivox and had the pleasure to listen French poems by Baudelaire and others authors: Caroline made a very good performance and let me even more appreciate these beautiful rimes.
Best regards and congratulations to Librivox!
Thank you so much for your readings. Perfect readings! . Sincerely, Tony

I just wanted to write and thank you so much for the great experience I always have when listening to the stories that you read on Librivox . I just finished listening to the stories of John Kendrick Bangs and it struck me again how wonderful the stories sound when read by you . It appears that you get as much enjoyment from the reading as I do from the hearing, and that we share a common love for the literature . It's hard for me to read sometimes, as I get bad headaches, so I love to listen to stories read aloud, and your dedication and the time that you have donated have meant so much to me . Thank you; you have been a real friend .
Sincerely,
Kathy
I want to thank you for a tremendously wonderful reading of Silas Marner, Weaver of Raveloe! What a terrific rendering of the text! The voices, the pace, and the kindness in your voice made the story come alive to me as I listened to it. We homeschool, and this is one the required books in our high school curriculum. I had read much of the text myself so I would be able to discuss it with my son, but thought it would be a nice change to hear an audio recording of it. I was not disappointed! Thank you so much for volunteering your time to do this. I just hope that the other books that we are reading have an audio reading by you!
Many blessings to you and your fantastic talent!

I wanted to thank you for your reading of an Old Fashioned Girl by Louisa May Alcott. I've listened to it so so many times. It is such a lovely story and your reading of it brings it alive. When I read the book, I hear your voice now too! Whenever I have a bad day it is my go to listen to cheer me up. I've got it permanently downloaded on my phone and I will never delete it!
