On LibriVox

Creator of LibriVox should realize it is money and fame that people utterly care about. The people here, should refer to the participators in the free audiobook recording.

Certainly, LibriVox does not offer the first. And this awesome service lacks one essential feature to meet the second human desire: listener rating. However it would be disastrous to enable rating, as so many volunteer's recordings will be mercilessly commented, ridiculed, smashed. Which by their own quality they quite often deserve it. I never mean you can't find jewel on LibriVox. I enjoy Mark F. Smith's reading of The Mysterious Island so much, that I recommend it whenever I got a chance.

Where's that perfect piece of toast?

Am I constantly craving?

Eyes settle on that cup of amber liquid
Steam swirling
Leaves crumbled but not pickled
Perfectly tranquil and serene
What a funny name
As if it's with vicious fang, claw, leathery wings
With a well for dwelling

A: doesn't matter, it's got the laser gun for defense.
