LibrivoxWe need a pinch-hitter to read Chapters 9-10 of Frankenstein (Jeff’s schedule got busier than expected). So if anyone would like to record 9-10, please let us know, by posting on the LibriVox forum.
Let’s jump in and demonstrate the advantages of the LibriVox system!

We’ve been getting lots of hits from Italy, stemming from posts on download.it, melablog.it, qix.it and booksblog.it.
One comment noted that there were not yet any Italian books, and I responded inviting Italian volunteers to record something (for instance, La Divina Commedia di Dante!!) …
And then downloadblog.it launched this challenge (see google’s translation) to it’s readers, to get recording (either as volunteers with LibriVox, or in a separate project)…
“Speriamo di poter presto sentire qualche buon audiolibro italiano!”
Want to discuss the best way to record your chapters? Wonder about about how to pronounce character names? Are you eager to share a brilliant tip to help us all improve our readings?
Well now you can. We’ve added forums to LibriVox. We hope this will be a useful resource for all LibriVox readers, book curators, admins, and other volunteers.
Click on the forums link in the blue volunteers box to be directed to the new forums at mediatinker.com.
To participate in the forums, please register on the forum page.
Listeners, there’s a place in the forums for you to leave your suggestions, too.
