 Librivox

I listen to books on librivox.  Most of the readers are adequate, but, oh, my are some HORRIBLE!  There is one woman, a non-native English speaker, whose English sounds like it’s excellent…in person.  But as a narrator?  Nope.  Just, no.  In at least every other sentence, she mispronounces a word.  At least one per paragraph makes me have to pause to figure out what it was.  I can get used to all Vs pronounced W.  Rs swallowed, stuff like that.  But boding isn’t bodding.   Bough is bouw, not boug.

I can not recommend Search for the Castaways, by Jules Berne.  

Librivox absolutely refuses to do any curation.
