    Book summary often totally wrong describing what the actual written work is about. Latest egregious error says a children’s book by Nina Rhoades is a dark psychological crime and thriller; actually about a little blind girl and her friend and meant for a juvenile audience! And PLEASE stop constantly using the phrase “immerse yourself “ in your promo . An overblown device not fitting for many of the offerings and a bit jarring when it too often is incorrect!

    more selectiveness on narrators
    some of these are fantastic. i love the selections, but some recordings are hard to listen to and some are even hard to understand the narrator.

    Very glad for this podcast with only 1 issue
    The array of stories and the gentle readings have been a wonderful addition my to long walks and accomplishing household chores. I only wish the timestamps for chapters were included in the notes! On occasion I’ve accidentally hit my phone screen and suddenly have no idea where I was in the long recording. A time stamp note would help considerably. But I will keep working my way through the volumes, all the same.

    Thank you to Librivox and all the talented and dedicated readers!
    It started with Alex Foster’s reading of The Invisible Man by HG Wells. I was hooked, there are so many enjoyable novels; each superbly read in a manner which honors the classics. My gratitude to all the volunteer readers who are keeping the classics alive for future generations to treasure.

    “What makes you qualified to read for us?” “I just learned English last week, my recording equipment is from 1937, and I can read at a 2nd grade level.” “Say no more. How soon can you start?”

    Time well spent
    The amount of happiness I get from these books is bigger than an elephant. That’s a whole lot of happiness. Great selection of the classics and must reads/ listens.

    Enjoyable Story - However
    Six Feet Four is a worthwhile American western. The deterrent to the story is the narration. The reader’s interpretation and inflection contain distracting missteps along the way.

    Was looking forward to this but the amount of blowhardedness is possibly unequaled at least in this format. I imagine I am not alone in wanting this man to fire himself but no doubt he ignores all attempts at improvement

    Excellent content, well presented
    I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I don’t often write reviews. When news and current events become a bit overwhelming, as is more and more often the case, I find that the ability to listen to a work that I haven’t read to be an incredible escape. Many of those “I’ve been meaning to read that” titles can be found here. The best collection of full titles that I have found, presented in a pleasing, commercial free format.

    I have enjoyed many of the books chosen by one of your story readers. He would read with a nice voice that let the story come through. It was also a comforting voice. But recently he has started to voice the characters no not the characters, but the gender and age. He has also started to read with too much enthusiasm or excitement. I can no longer listen. Please just be true to your own character first.
