So things are clicking along at LibriVox, and we hope to make the volunteering easier to keep track of soon. Also, as mentioned, we’ll be opening up the book selection process, and putting it into the capable hands of the volunteers (who have suggested, among others, Joyce’s Ulysses (!) , some Homer, a Dutch collection, Thucydides, The Golden Bough … ambitious!). Also a big benvenuto! to the many readers we seem to be getting from Italy … (How about an Italian version of Dante’s Inferno?)

In the mean time, we will be posting chapters to our catalogue as they come in, but still podcasting sequentially.

UPDATE:
Thus far we are fully-subscribed for: The Secret Agent, Frankenstein, Notes from the Underground, Psmith in the City, and Call of the Wild. And we still need volunteers for Tolstoy’s Childhood. (Please reserve a chapter of Tolstoy by commenting: here).

Now, as we are filling up I thought I would add another book: Jack London’s Call of the Wild. To reserve a chapter, please comment below. (Note I’m going to keep them small & relatively easy until we get a better set-up for volunteering). Make sure you:
a) name the chapters you claim
b) make it clear who you are
