In an earlier episode of the audio edition, I mentioned LibriVox, a distributed effort to record audiobooks of material in the public domain. My time to participate has come and I contributed a reading of Chapter 6 of Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent. I only ran through it once…and it shows. I’d hoped to re-record the chapter, but fatherhood calls.

Anyway, I think I’ll do better with my next assignment: the first three chapters of Dostoyevsky’s Notes From the Underground.

If you relish the idea of taking part, think about signing up for the next projects: Shelley’s Frankenstein and Tolstoy’s Boyhood.
