What are your favourite recordings?
Posted: April 13th, 2008, 3:41 pm
Librivox accepts and appreciates everybody who volunteers in any capacity. We love accents; we love variety; we love books and voices. We embrace American Southerners who read Jane Austen and Scot Highlanders who read Zane Grey equally. All are welcome. There are no auditions. There are standards, but no barriers. All this and more has made Librivox one of the (or, THE, according to some) most prolific producer of audio books in the world. This is a direct result of the Librivox philosophy of openness and inclusiveness.
That being said, variety inevitably leads to variability, and there can be little argument that some recordings stand out for their excellence. While quality and enjoyment are subjective, even casual listening to the works in the Librivox catalog will reveal a recording or two that, for whatever reason, especially appeals to you. Maybe it’s just the story itself. Maybe it’s the voice, style, and characterizations of the reader that lets you close your eyes and transports you to the settings of the tale (hopefully you’re not driving when this happens). Or maybe--just maybe--it’s the background whine of the reader’s computer, or the hum of his air conditioner, or the timely barking of her neighbor’s dog that sets just that right tone you needed to really bring the story home for you. That experience, surely, should be shared. Well, here’s your chance.
The idea is to provide a way for those in the Librivox community to recognize outstanding works created by our volunteers. To accentuate the positive. To say, simply, “I liked this.”
My intention is to post these in the Wiki in as close to real-time as possible; real Life, etc. permitting.

NOTE 2/16/2010: Because of the decommissioning of the old wiki, the link above is no longer active. I do have a back-up of the page, though it's somewhat (ok...horribly) out of date. Real Life prevents me from starting up the wiki page again and getting everything synced back up. But if anyone is interested in doing so, please PM me and I'll be happy to give them what I have. See below - russiandoll.
If you like, of course, feel free to add a few words about why you liked a selection so much. Such comments will not be incorporated with the lists, but will be preserved in the discussion forum.
As always, suggestions and comments as to how to make this feature better are welcome. I hereby exempt myself from the “no criticism” policy. Though if you feel the need to be particularly vehement, a PM might be a more appropriate venue. There are kids about…
Let’s have fun with this!

EDIT by russiandoll March 17 2010:
Here for the time being is a dreadfully formatted list I've just made by hoicking out the titles, reader details and links if provided, and bunging them hastily into rough categories. It covers everything recommended in this thread to date (last item the collab Pride & Prejudice). Anyone who can use this info as the basis of a better-arranged list for the new wiki, please feel free!
