Scattergood looks like a great book. I will be ready to start a new solo recording soon. It’s always hard to choose, but Scattergood is at the top of the list!

My family and I have thoroughly enjoyed your reading of “Whose Body”, and I wanted to suggest another book you may be interested in reading for Librivox. These comments were the only contact method I could find.

The book is “Scattergood Baines” by Clarence Budington Kelland: http://archive.org/details/scattergoodbaine13307gut

It is a collection of short stories about a strange man who moves to a small community and starts (benevolently) outsmarting everyone. This book, and indeed Scattergood himself, have been favorites of ours for many years and we believe your reading would likely do them justice.

Save the zip to your computer somewhere. When it’s finished (could take a while), double-click the .zip and it’ll unzip into a folder full of mp3s.

Double-click an mp3 and it’ll probably start playing. If it doesn’t, download and install iTunes (free!)

You can put them on an mp3 player, if you have one, or burn them to cd for the car if your computer is capable. If it’s not, tell me what you want and I’ll do it for you! I think you would love this book and so many of our others. oxoxoxo!!!

The original copyright laws as created by the Founding Fathers were intended to protect the rights of the creator for a LIMITED amount of time and then release the work so that it could become part of a common pool of creativity and inspiration for future creators. That balance is pretty much dead now, it’s all about the rights of the creator and not the public. I know I’m preaching to the choir but when I think about this stuff it fires me up. Oh, the books we could record if copyright only lasted 50 years! We could record East of Eden.

I agree with you about copyright, and thank that Librivox is a great example of why the argument you cite above is true.
Hoping you sleep well. You probably get more done while asleep than I do awake…
