You may see all the new additions here.

June provided us with a veritable feast of recordings, including:

• The second volume of Hapgood’s English translation of Hugo’s Les Misérables.
• Another convoluted plot from Wilkie Collins, brimful of colourful characters: Armadale.
• This Simian World by Clarence Day, Jr., a satirical speculation on how the world might be different if we apes had not risen to prominence.
• The concluding volume of Mrs. Gaskell’s Life of Charlotte Brontë.
• The gruesome first volume of the 16th century Book of Martyrs, by John Foxe, an English Protestant account of the persecutions of Protestants.
• The long awaited Dubliners by James Joyce and Volume I of Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina.
• Dramatic recordings, including Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night and Shaw’s Pygmalion.
• Complete Hypnotism, Mesmerism, Mind-Reading and Spiritualism by A. Alpheus.
• No less than three G.K. Chesterton works: Irish Impressions, Lord Kitchener and What I Saw in America.
• A Spanish recording, a multilingual short story collection, three Dutch recordings, and six German works.

And lots, lots more. Have fun!

I talk about audiobooks, time acquisition, LibriVox, Google, the link, and the digital archaeology of love. And Hinton, Alberta.

Link to the vid.

Epistomolus makes some suggestions for those recording here at LibriVox … Gregg talks to recording folk also, about inhibitions and the benefits of easing out of them … and Ruth answers the generally very sensible question (to a non-LibriVoxer, anyway) “Why are you doing it?”

It is a story of such grace and skill; the build up slow and good-humoured and banal, but when that last section finally comes, it contains so much nostalgia, so much melancholy, so much revelation. All of us have had those moments, when what we thought we knew got thrown on its head, our own tiny place in the world gently exposed, and the wide, huge and lonely universe - of which we still remain a part - becomes clear and cold and expansive for just that brief moment.

Almost four years after LibriVox was born, I finally got the courage to record the Dead. I don’t think it’s catalogued quite yet, but here are the mp3s for those who want to listen to an audio version of one of the most beautiful-sad short stories ever written.

• The Dead - Part 1 [mp3]
• The Dead - Part 2 [mp3]
• The Dead - Part 3 [mp3]

Happy Bloomsday.

A number of new works have already been cataloged thanks to our intrepid world-wide and sleep deprived MC volunteers, and they’ll continue to chip away at the backlog just as fast as they can. Keep an eye on the New Releases feed for new audio as it becomes available.

And, gentle listeners, as always LibriVox needs you to point out any problems that may occur with the new process. Please post any observed weirdness in the Error Reports forum.

Topic: Why nothing’s been catalogued for a while :O

Voices: Peter Yearsley and Anna Simon.

Quote from Douglas Adams (the Brit radio play version, though it’s likely to be in the HHGTTG book too.)

However, the Internet Archive (the folks who host LibriVox’s files) are making some changes to the way audio files are derived and presented. Once the dust settles at Archive, we’ll begin cataloging the backlog, and the regular audio wonderfulness we’ve all come to expect and love will resume.

Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available.
