I spotted this over at Playlist, but LibriVox is the kind of project that I like to see and that I hope succeeds:
If you’re reading this, please give us a plug on your blog, we’re a totally volunteer project just trying to see if we can make this idea work, so consider volunteering to read a chapter; and sign up to our feed, download and listen. Think of it as a collective audio book club, chapter by chapter.
They’re releasing Chapter by Chapter audiobooks as podcasts as they record them and their inaugural project is Joseph Conrad’s The Secret Agent from this text, so it’s not only cool, but they also have taste. Nice.

thanks for the plug! will you be volunteering for a chap of the next book?
all the best.
the librivox “team”…
Hugh,
Quite possibly! I’d love to be involved. I just need to figure out how to free up some time. Would I be responsible for editing out my own “uhs” or does someone else (please please) handle all that?
nah, you’ll have to edit all your own umms, unless someone volunteers to do it (not me!) … but when you’re reading text you’re not likely to umm too much!
