It was also released on my birthday, a tiny gift back to the world. I've been having problems getting to TB and the 'babies at archive.org, Simmon, their servers do get busy for days at a time. More solos on the way, I'm finishing one at the moment, and another, long-term one's starting up. Or hop across to the future page and make suggestions. *grins* Best wishes for your own emmigration and the eventual reincarnation of your bookshelves.

My first librivox book was your reading of "The Water Babies" and I have been hooked ever since. Please do more solos! Weirdly, I had also accidentally emigrated to Australia and have since given away most of my vast home library. The digital (portable) realm provides some solace, hence my desire to encourage you to continue your good work. Cheers, Simmon (I tried to download Tender Buttons, but there was some problem with the file.) Hi Cori,

In proof-reading a book by the sometime-pirate Alexander Esquemeling, I definitely came to sympathise with the non-pirate side. The pirates were SO VILELY ANNOYING, pillaging and destroying communities already fighting an unequal battle against a harsh living environment. On the other hand, much like the ninja (without being too frivolous) -- the notion of piracy and the associations of freedom and "fortune favours the bold" are pretty appealing. This is more a library for the concept-lovers than those armed to the nines with Kalashnikovs and with serious designs on innocent shipping. It’s a fair point, Richard, well made.

A few specifics, and most of the fictional glorifications. Oppression makes lawlessness a bit too romantic. I doubt it would be as fun as it sounds from the security of the couch or armchair, all the despicable activities. I would like to thank you for reading.

I don't have immediate plans to do a solo recording of it, but it would be wonderful for a future project, I will bear it in mind!

Cantos I-V were simply beautiful. The rest are unlistenable. Please, if you do nothing else with your time, I beg you to complete Inferno. Cantos I-V were simply beautiful.

Thankyou ever so much, FW. <i>Tender Buttons</i> is the least loved-on of all my solos, and in fact, yours is the first comment I've had on it, apart from the original proof-listeners. I know a strange few are listening to it at archive.org, just from the downloads, and it's been sold on eBay a number of times ... but ... I'm glad to hear that it's actually enjoyable too!

Your voice and skill gave voice to Stein's work very well. I think your reading of Tender Buttons must be perfect. Your voice and skill gave voice to Stein’s work very well.
