The book, Felix Holt, The Radical, by George Eliot just came out as an audiobook available for free download in the Internet Archive website here or LibriVox's catalog here. (Both sites have their eponymous free apps for convenient listening.) George Eliot has such an extraordinary range of observation, power of description, and understanding of human aspirations and foibles that in reading her books one gets a vivid impression of the life, mostly in small towns, in 19th Century England. I had not read Felix Holt before so it was a real pleasure to get to listen to the book for the first time. I recorded four chapters for the book, not all in consecutive order. If you listen to the whole book from the beginning, you can easily pick out my parts; they stick out like sore thumbs. I hope they don't ruin your listening experience. These are my first forays into reading for audiobooks; I hope I get better at it with practice.
p.s.: If you can, please consider giving to LibriVox. Thank you.
