Silas Marner, chapters 1-4
For lack of anything else to do (ha HA ha ha, hee hee, oh, I kill me) I've decided to start serializing some of my Librivox recordings here in my blog. You all can completely ignore these posts and that would be fine. Or you can download them and listen on your computer or your iPod (not that I know how to do that, since I don't have an iPod. yet), that'd be fine too. I generally record two or three chapters of each book per week. All I ask is that if you are going to listen to these, for bandwidth's sake, just download each chapter once. I think I have enough bandwidth to spare to do this; if I start to run out each month I'll just stop. Actually, I lied. I also ask that if you hear errors in these files, please let me know. When I goof up while reading, I click my tongue three times and then re-read the phrase I messed up; if you hear any of these as you listen please let me know in the comments or in an email. (If you know the point in the recording at which it happens that's extra nice.) However, DON'T tell me if you think my voice is too nasaly. I'm always telling people it is and they've almost convinced me that it's not; wouldn't want to undo all their hard work.
So. Silas Marner is the story of a broken middle-aged miser who loses his gold and then ends up adopting a child and bringing her up. 19th-century English countryside, love, redemption, fulfillment, yada yada. (It's actually one of my favorite books). It was written by Mary Ann Evans (aka George Eliot) in 1861.
Without further ado:

I dont know where you get the idea that your voice is nasaly. I think if it was, I would have noticed by now. And I have not. =)
