I am listening, but the doodling/pacing calms me enough to concentrate on the words I am hearing.

I listen to tons of audio stuff – NPR type radio – while doing other things. cooking for instance.

audiobooks are different, I find I can listen to them only if i am a) walking or b) driving… or c) doing some kind of simple manual labour (painting) …

but i can’t really imagine listening to an audiobook without doing something else – hilarious that we expect kids to “sit still and listen.”

I hope you are well, and hope to hear from you soon!

I’m really glad my reading puts a smile on your face. If you want to find everything I’ve ever read for librivox, you can go to our catalog page:
http://librivox.org/newcatalog/, click “advanced search form,” change status to “complete,” and put “kayray” in the reader field. You’ll get a list of all the completed works in which I read at least one chapter or poem :)

If you like a good murder mystery, I recommend “Whose Body.” I read half the chapters, and the wonderful Kristin read the other half.

For an awesome adventure, try The Scarlet Pimpernel, read entirely by the extremely talented Karen! I’m listening to it now and it’s just wonderful.

Recently heard stories were Fairy Tales by the Brother’s Grimm and The Five Children and It by E. Nesbit. I really do find the stories interesting.

My friends always laugh at me because I’m hearing people tell stories while they are listening to rap this and hip hop that. But I fancy stories more then listening to music these days. Not to mention hearing the voice of someone that tells the stories with such emotions and happiness. Literally Kay, your voice brings a smile to my face. I’m hoping as I delve more into reading more works from Librivox, I’d hear your muse-like voice.

I just want to drop by and say thanks for the work you do at Librivox and I really do appreciate you lending your time to read stories for everyone.

A VERY happy listener,
Kev
