LibriVox has created 1000 free audiobooks!!!
As of today, October 30, 2007, LibriVox has 1000 free, legal, volunteer-read, downloadable audiobooks.
We’ve been counting down to the thousandth book, having no idea at all what it would be. It turned out to be a recording of Edgar Allan Poe’s Murders in the Rue Morgue, read by a relatively new volunteer, Reynard (who is a fine reader with a delicious accent), and cataloged by a brand new admin, kmerline. It was her first cataloging job! Yay Reynard and kmerline!

Way to go, LibriVox volunteers!!! Without each one of you, we wouldn’t have gotten where we are today.
Check our catalog. You’ll find lots more great books to listen to.

We are enjoying Librivox. In fact, we are listening to your recording of A Little Princess right now as I type. : )

Fain would I hear yarns of the Geats
Accompanied by parakeets!
I’m enjoying Kara’s reading of Beowulf. (I used the word “yarns” to honor your knitting prowess.)
