2011 was quite a busy year where reading is concerned. I read 39 books and listened to 77 audiobooks. Of those 77 audiobooks only 16 were either commercial or non LibriVox recordings. The other 61 were Librivox recordings, for which I did the prooflistening. Of the books I read the one I liked best probably was [...]

Another pair of knit socks and some more…
Posted in Books, game, knitting, pattern, personal, self made..., Whatever on September 15, 2011 | Leave a Comment »
At the moment I’m down with a nasty cold and more or less had to spend all week in bed. After feeling absolutely miserable for the first few days I’m somewhat better now and also rather bored. To make time pass faster I did a lot of knitting. I finished those 9 to 5 socks, [...]

Clover – another finished solo :)
Posted in audio, Books, LibriVox, personal, Whatever on January 9, 2011 | 2 Comments »
“Clover” by Susan Coolige – my latest LibriVox Solo is finally finished. Originally Neeru and I started it as a duet way back in June 2009, but I ended up reading it all by myself when Neeru got too busy. So don’t be too surprised if the quality of the recording changes somewhat between chapters [...]
