Your presentation was exceptional; so much so, I used the recording to enhance my fantasy literature online class. This was the first time many of my students read/heard a work from a previous time period. Your reading was just right for them. I will continue to look for your work in the future. Cori,

Yonge, I've wished that you would consider recording the whole thing! Would you? Or maybe At the Back of the North Wind, by George MacDonald? I dearly love Librivox, and you are a wonderful reader! Hi Cori,

Hmm... Interesting idea, Walter — I read it some time ago, and thought about it for LV as I liked it a lot, but then it was recorded by a group, so I put it on the backburner. Hmm…

It's the wellspring of all the "Star Is Born" stories, about the poor girl who hooks up with a rich man and goes up, up, up while he goes down, down, down. I've read nearly all of Dreiser's novels and Carrie is by far the best of the bunch. The last two-thirds - a painstakingly detailed account of Carrie's rise, and Hurstwood's fall, in 1880s New York - are riveting. (I never looked at Madison Square Park, on Broadway and 23rd Street, in the same way again.) “Sister Carrie” by Theodore Dreiser is marvelous and you’re the perfect voice for it.

Mysteries of London is SUCH fun ... a great sprawling soap opera. Only, it is enormous, and I do need more hours in the day to work on it as well as everything else I do. Will be back on the case soon, hopefully. Enjoy your reading in the meantime -- it's quite the contrast to the "classic literature" we're more familiar with. You’re very welcome, Robert!
