I listen to audio files almost daily. With me, it is a way of keeping in touch with English. I often visit the site to see the new arrivals. I liked specially the following recordings: Robinson Crusoe , The Mysterious Island and The Thirty-nine Steps. Great novels, a real pleasure listening. I give thanks to all the readers of the LibriVox. Great Idea, LibriVox. I listen to audio files almost daily. With me, it is a way of keeping in touch with English.

I have HEARD now some older books that I was never gonna read myself and that is wonderfull. So thanks and what a marvelous idea to start something like LIBRIVOX...and for the culture in general is is very good that the publishing-rights on books expire!

I it wasn't for you guys, I'd probably have been zoning out at my volenteer work program I just got home from two weeks ago. I read all of Tarzan while I was there; I even started getting in to the Strange Pages From Family Papers book. That stuff is cool. Anyways, what with me being blind and having a love of reading, I am hoping to contribute sometime in the future. One of the books I'd like to see added is Jules Verne's "Off On A Comit." That has to be one of my fav Verne books. I personally love Librivox and aplaud all of you.

I've picked up the habit again without compromising my daily existence (chores, work and school). It has been a great source of pleasure and learning for us all. I'm back on the "reading world" and hopefully not only for myself. Can't help but to echo this to other people, reader or non-reader. It would greatly encourage the "youngs" and the "olds" to get in to books. Not many people in my area have a good source of classic lits available freely for us, so this is a great step. Big THANKS to everyone in the project, specially the ones who conceptualized it. Kudos! I can finally catch up on my reading journey even though my hands are busy.

I would have never read Tolstoy' War and Peace or Gibbon's History of The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire on my own but now enjoy these classics each day (and await with abated breath for the completion of these monstrous undertakings by the Librivox volunteers). Many heartfelt thanks to you and your readers and keep up the great work!

It's friendly. It's literature. And it's free! What more would I want? I listen to it at work and at home, and I've recently started recording a chapter or two myself. It's not a website, it's a lifestyle. In fact, it's an obsession! It’s non-commercial. It’s friendly. It’s literature. And it’s free! What more would I want?

In addition, Librivox has enabled me to "read" books which I would otherwise not read in a hard-copy form. I first encountered Librivox a few months after it began - that was when all of the recordings were on one long page. The growth of the Librivox project has been amazing. Thank you.
