Have just this minute finished recording Chapter 1 of Henry James's "Washington Square," a book I've long loved for its exquisitely-crafted long sentences.

It is my hope that Jim Linwood -- author of this photograph -- will grant me permission to remix it into the small artwork that will accompany this audiobook recording into the public domain.

It's great to be back reading to you again.

I begin to read "Washington Square" by Henry James.

It's my hope that the author of this photograph will permit me its remixed use for the artwork that will represent this public domain endeavor.

Perfect angle I think.

Chapter 1's recorded and will be up soon...as soon as I make a suitable image.

Great to be back reading again.

Lady Chatterley's Lover Free Audio Book :: in One Player



Here's what I hope will prove to be the entirety of "Lady Chatterley's Lover" by D.H. Lawrence in Blip.TV's show player.

Fingers crossed.

Feedcycle - the startup I used to use to feed subscribers one chapter a week - has died and gone to startup heaven.

Pity.

Looking for new ways to present the work.

I've put it some places in the public domain, as it is here.

POST NOTE: Rats, the player's not outputting the files in order. Sorry about that. Back to the drawing board. The iTunes RSS feed above will bring all the chapters into iTunes and IN ORDER, so there's that....

POST-POST NOTE: The good folks @ Blip.TV walked me through a code change that brings you express goodness in RSS feeding and single-player access to all the chapters, in order. Thanks again, Blip.

What Next?

Help me out, here.

It took hundreds of hours to record "Lady Chatterley's Lover" and I'm loathe to begin another such enormous project without something good coming of it.

Have any of you at least donated to Project Gutenberg on my behalf?

Sent me a 'tip' via PayPal @ jannie.jan@gmail.com?

Been good to your mother?
