I hope someone can read the three books:
“A Mind That Found Itself”,
“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”,
and “Streams in the Desert”
Thank you so much!

“A Mind That Found Itself” by Clifford Whittingham Beers is in the Public Domain, and I will add it to the Book Suggestions on the forum.
“One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Streams in the Desert” are both still in copyright in the USA (where our files are hosted) and not available for us to record, I’m afraid.

I do so hope that I read in the not too distant future that Laurie Lee’ ‘As I walked out one midsummers morning’ is available…… The only trouble with this site is there are not enough hours in my day to listen to the great selection!

Laurie Lee is not in our timeframe, I’m afraid. He was only born in 1914, and none of his work is in the Public Domain. :(

Thank you… this has given me a chance to hear some of my favorite books from my teen years and discover new ones. Listening when I am driving is a great gift.

I would like to recommend the Collected Poems of Paul Lawrence Dunbar (Pub. 1913?) and “Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence” by Charles A. Goodrich (Pub 1842)

I have posted these two on the Book Suggestions thread on the forum, Steve.
