LibriVox's mission is to see every work in the Public Domain recorded into audio format. What project are you (im)patiently waiting for?

I will collect submissions throughout the month of January with the goal of having the podcast ready to go by February 7.
Since I will need a few days to edit the podcast, I'd appreciate having all submissions by January 31.

Just an additional note for any who would like to contribute but don't feel comfortable recording when they don't have a prewritten script. I am happy to record (or find a recorder) to read what you would like said if you send me a PM or comment it here. You don't have to record your own part :D

Suggestions (this is not strict, please feel free to submit whatever feels right to you):

-Which work do you most wish to see on LibriVox
-Is there a suggestion in the Suggestion Forum that's caught your eye
-Do you have an upcoming project you want to shout out to get readers excited
-What work became Public Domain this year that you can't wait to see completed
-What work are you most looking forward to entering Public Domain

In addition, we are always looking for theme suggestions or memories from the archives (if you find a funny thread or post as you're digging through the forum, post it here and it can be included in the Archive Diving section of the podcast).

To put this podcast together, I need your help! Please record or write your thoughts on what work you're most looking forward to entering PD. Try to keep your remarks to about 2 to 4 minutes. If you want to ramble a bit longer, and leave it to me to choose the best bits to use in the podcast, I will do that. Understand that I may not be able to use your entire recording. I will edit as seems best, for instance, if several people repeat very similar remarks, or if some remarks are off the topic, or too political, or if the podcast is running too long. I'll keep all the best bits, though! :wink:

If you are a PL'er or listener, and have something to say, but you don't want to record, you can still participate by typing your comments in this thread, indicating that you are willing for them to be used in the podcast, or fire me a PM.

Just giving this post a little bump in hopes some people might like to talk about what books they are (im)patiently waiting to record or listen to.
