Wow, that was EXCELLENT!!! I had hesitated a little about including this one in the book since it needed a reader who would feel confident with all the Greco-Roman names and place-names, etc., but you did a fantastic job with all of this. Everything is in great shape, and I've marked it PL OK.Imago wrote: ↑April 16th, 2024, 11:52 am Here is section 2 (08:38) ready for review:

Do you ever do solos? Maybe you would consider doing this whole book as a solo; your voice is just perfect for this. It is a really good retelling of the Aeneid, and I am sure it would find some eager listeners. (And I would very happy prooflisten for you if you did that; it would be a pleasure to hear that whole book!). Here it is if you are curious; it was originally published in 1906, and then re-published in 1927:

This could also work as a group project too... DM me if you are interested in that. I think it would be a very useful contribution to LibriVox, and I would gladly set this up as a group project if I could find some readers who wanted to do some classical reading.
Thank you for contributing this story!!!

This was sooooo fun to listen to, Larry! Having the different voices was so important so we could keep track of everybody variously tricking and being tricked! Fabulous!silverquill wrote: ↑April 12th, 2024, 2:06 pm From warthog to cayman! Well, I have no idea what voice to give a cayman, and I'm afraid I wasn't very consistent throughout. Voices are really not my forte. Jackals seem to pop up quite a bit, and are wise and crafty.

You can tell why I liked this one: it is a classic "get back into the trap" type of story which is found all over Africa (like the warthog and lion story you just did, ha ha)... but combined with the "skin-as-medicine" tale --- which means that the jackal got to out-trick BOTH the caiman AND the man, all in the name of justice. GO JACKAL!
I've marked this PL OK, and that puts this one at 75% done: whoo-hoo! THANK YOU as always.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback, I really appreciate it and I’m glad you liked the reading. Thanks for your hard work putting this collection together.laurakgibbs wrote: ↑April 16th, 2024, 7:27 pmWow, that was EXCELLENT!!!

I’ll check out the rest of Stories from the Aeneid and get back to you via DM, as it would be a good project to do.

"Tomorrow" eventually came, and all the authors should be in the catalogue now!

Thank you, Rapunzelina! Things have been all crazy-busy for me this week (I start teaching a summer course next week) --- I kept thinking I would get to it each day, but boom, here it is already Thursday. But I'll be able to do the metadata this weekend for sure. I am excited to learn how to do something new!
