Call of the Wild

September 20, 2005

So things are clicking along at LibriVox, and we hope to make the volunteering easier to keep track of soon. Also, as mentioned, we’ll be opening up the book selection process, and putting it into the capable hands of the volunteers (who have suggested, among others, Joyce’s Ulysses (!) , some Homer, a Dutch collection, Thucydides, The Golden Bough … ambitious!). Also a big benvenuto! to the many readers we seem to be getting from Italy … (How about an Italian version of Dante’s Inferno?)

In the mean time, we will be posting chapters to our catalogue as they come in, but still podcasting sequentially.

UPDATE:
Thus far we are fully-subscribed for: The Secret Agent, Frankenstein, Notes from the Underground, Psmith in the City, and Call of the Wild. And we still need volunteers for Tolstoy’s Childhood. (Please reserve a chapter of Tolstoy by commenting: here).

Now, as we are filling up I thought I would add another book: Jack London’s Call of the Wild. To reserve a chapter, please comment below. (Note I’m going to keep them small & relatively easy until we get a better set-up for volunteering). Make sure you:
a) name the chapters you claim
b) make it clear who you are

  3. I love this one, can’t turn it down. Can I have the ending (CHAPTER 7!) , pretty please? (Am I ever going to do anything with my leisure time BUT podcast? Just another unanswerable puzzle of the universe)

  5. When recording consecutive chapters, would you prefer them together in one MP3, or broken into separate files per chapter?

  6. I’ll take “Call of the Wild” chapters 5 & 6

  7. I’m definitely interested in helping with the Dutch collection. I’ve already started recording Het Beulskind from Conscience’s Avondstonden for myself, but if others want to help me record the rest, or if somebody requires my help with a book…
