I would like to thank Mr Martin Geeson for his wonderful reading of 'Gargantua and Pantagruel' and his part in the group reading of 'Dangerous Connections'. He has a clear and excellent voice and injects much humour into his reading - it is an absolute delight to listen to.
I drive long distances for work and listening to these, and many other, Librivox recordings certainly helps make it a much more pleasant experience.
Thank you again and best wishes,

Dear Mr. Geeson
Your reading of L'assammoir brought Zola's masterpiece to life for me, and I congratulate you , on the wonderful voice intonations of the dialogue of the various characters..
EXCELLENT !
Best regards John
I just wanted to let you know that I am *so* enjoying your reading of
'Kim'. It's a book I've always intended to read, but couldn't find the
time to. Now, I can relish the excellence of your voicings for each
character, and cherish the genius of Kipling. Thank you.

Adrian, I first listened to you reading “Siddhartha” by Herman Hesse— a book that has meant a lot to me since I was a teenager. Your reading was so thoughtful that I re-listned often, though I tried other readers, even versions that I had to pay for. None had the careful and authentic voice that you gave the book. When I found out that you are also a reader for “The Wind in the Willows” I immediately downloaded it, although I had other audio version already. It is the only version I will listen it now. The voices of the characters are perfect. Again, you bring a love for the book into your reading of it. Some readers left out the 7th chapter, about the encounter with the god Pan, but you did not.
Though my books are not as gentle as these two, I am a published writer who will have high standards for any audio version of my work because of your readings.
I’ve wanted to thank you for years and hope that you are well and happy.
I have listened to all your recitations of the Dialogues of Plato and am half-way through The Enneads of Plotinus (PLOTINUS (204 - 270) and PORPHYRY (234 - 305)). You speak very clearly and it is easy to understand you. In addition, your choice of subjects is very important to me and many people. I am hoping strongly that you consider reading some of the works of Proclus in the future. The Neoplatonists seem to be largely ignored and the existing secondary scholarship on them is inadequate, but Proclus himself can be understood (with patience!).
It was only because of you ma’am that I enjoyed a 400+ pages novel for the first time!! The book I read along with you was PRIDE AND PREJUDICE by JANE AUSTEN. It was like I was with the characters all the time. So ,thank you ELIZABETH KLETT.
My husband, three young children, and myself listened to your recording of Five Children and It, and laughed our socks off! We expecially enjoyed the voices you gave the characters and the animation in their voices. Perfectly done. Then I searched for more solo projects by you and was sad to find none! I hope there may be another project in the works. In any case, thank you for your time recording this enjoyable rendition.
Please tell her that I deeply appreciate her time and effort; that I could hardly hope to have studied Quintilian's work so much without her, and that the sound of her voice has become a constant companion along with Quintilian's writing.
Best wishes, and thanks for passing on my message,
Thank you to Mil Nicholson for her reading of Dickens’ “Our Mutual Friend”. It is a rare and illuminating work of art that she has contributed to all of us who love language, drama, and literature. -Bill
I have just finished listening to book 8, and feel somewhat orphaned, so many books to go. You have done a wonderful job in reading these books.
I am not only impressed with the quality of your reading, but with the quality and richness of the language that went into writing these books. It is apparent that
a scholarly representation of the English language is to be found in the writings of those who wrote long ago. Again I say thank you.
Dear Sir, that was spectacular, I enjoyed your every word. I Thank you sincerely for your loving talented reading. Truly it is the very best I have ever heard. Thank you for being you. Kindness to you, Yvonne

Thanks for the wonder reading of "the dust flower"! Your voice is so soothing, I’m on to listening every solo book you have done!!!
Thank you for your contributions to Librivox!

Simon,
Dust Flower is a delight.
It is a well written story and you absolutely contributed to the telling.
Thank you for your reading of the Anne of Green Gables series! Revisiting the first book, and discovering the later ones in audioform has been incredible thanks to your reading. I must admit I've become quite spoiled with it, and no other reading of the series will do now. You embody the spirit of Anne perfectly. The voices you put on for the different characters seems to me as being the exact balance of staying true to your own reading style, and letting the characters show through. I was sad to see that Anne of Windy Poplars isn't covered, but I know I'll read it myself quickly enough (and in your style) before moving on to your Anne's House of Dreams.

Dear Karen,
Thank you so much for all the time you put into your wonderful recording
of The Story of the Treasure Seekers by E Nesbit! You have brought so
much enjoyment to our family and read with such wonderful expression. We
have had a difficult few days with sickness, and you have really
brightened those days.
I tried twice to read it and could not make it through. But thanks to your wonderful telling, I enjoyed every chapter. What an exceptional job you did.
I just wanted to say that I very much enjoyed your reading of the novel, “The Hermit of ____ St”. It is so kind of you to take the time to make these recordings so that people can enjoy these novels. Your reading was very clear, easy to understand and unhurried and your tone made the characters come alive.
Thank you for making this recording as it gave me many hours of pleasure and I now look forward to the listening to another one of your recordings.
Praise received for Rory (Hazel Chant) and Hawden (Alan Chant) from our 'Thank a reader' feature:
Dear Hazel and Alan,
We just finished listening to your delightful reading of The
Wouldbegoods by E Nesbit
(https://librivox.org/the-wouldbegoods-by-edith-nesbit/). Thank you so,
so much for your time making this recording. Our whole family are sick
at the moment, and this book has truly brightened our days. We loved
your expressive reading and are truly grateful!
Grazzie Simona per questa voce soave. Che piacere sentirla leggere questo delizioso racconto . Che Dio la benedica. Buon Natale u buon Anno 2019. Spero che lei continua a leggere altre belle opere Italiane.
