Edgar Rice Burroughs LibriVox suggestions
Well, most of those have actually been read too (actually pretty much all PD Lovecraft has been read and there are a handful of mostly non-genre REH unread).
But to annise's point, there really is a ton of weird fiction and sci-fi that hasn't been read for Librvox at all.
Speaking of Lovecraft and REH though, there is one Clark Ashton Smith story that hasn't been read:

Ah, not sure how I missed that this was already recorded. I think I must've searched on LV without the dash.DaveS wrote: ↑November 11th, 2022, 7:40 am The Man-Eater, serialized in six issues of the New York Evening World newspaper, is indeed in the public domain.
This one was read by Joe Denoia:

There are multiple versions of several ERB books on Librivox, so if someone else wants to give this one a shot, that would be good!
The books of it that were finally published in the 1950s-1970's contain some errors, mostly typographical I think. I am thinking it would be best to have the distributed proofreaders group do a good text conversion of the original newspaper page scans that are online so a corrected version the actual book can be on PG too.

I just poked Al to ask him to get it posted to PG-US.

Tarzan and the Lost Empire has a clearance and a project at pgdp.net. I posted my scans to archive.org if anyone wants to work on it before it posts to PG.

The Tarzan Twins entered the public domain this year as well. Unfortunately, I can't find a scan or e-text of it online except the Gutenberg AU site, and I've been told those are valid to use under any circumstance for reading on Librivox.
I have clearances for these two where we'll pull the text from fadedpage. I've uploaded the scans to archive.org until we get them pulled into PG.

Yea, I'm wondering if it'd be able to be acquired through an inter-library loan. I've gotten some pretty rare books that way.gweeks wrote: ↑February 10th, 2023, 9:06 amOuch, that's an expensive book to buy.
