Classic Gutenberg project books read aloud by Roy Trumbull

Roy Trumbull, a talented reader, is working his way through the best of Project Gutenberg's texts, reading them aloud in a podcast called "Story Spieler." He's got a lot of classic science fiction, Bierce's "Devil's Dictionary" and lots more. Roy read some of my work aloud and did a fantastic job with it, and I'm really enjoying listening to his work on these stories, too. It's a great way to mine the past for some of the great and forgotten works of literature.

Craphound reading -- new podcast - Boing Boing

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Thanks Roy!

I do a lot of driving for my job, audio texts really help with the monotony on the highway!

Your reading of The Super Man and the Bugout was a killer!

Roy is doing some terrific stuff. I especially recommend his reading of And All The Earth A Grave by C.C. MacApp, an old Science Fiction story from Galaxy magazine. It’s got an adbusters sensibility and is actually funny.

I hope he puts these up on Librivox.

This is great not merely for busy people who have no time to read but also for other humans who have no choice but listening; i.e. they can not see.

Libravox only deals with public domain books. I work with public domain books and current Creative Commons books like Cory’s and my own. In point of fact the files I do and the files Libravox does are both posted on the Internet Archive making them available to anyone.
I get much of my PD text from http://www.gutenberg.org. I hear from a number of people learning English as a second language who follow the text while I read.
