That is nasty. I take it this was from Recordings for the Blind?
I can't
imagine NLS allowing such a thing.

Yeah, there was this one reader who spit all the time. I don't
remember
what book it was, but I was reading it with headphones, and it
sounded
like the guy was spitting in my ear. It was gross.

Everyone is sharing, so I thought I'd share. The most memorable
reader to me
was the elderly gentleman who constantly licked his lips. Every
three or
four words, lick lick. When you're reading a book for school,
that is
totally distracting!

Someone actually burped in one of my textbooks. It cracked me
up, but also
kind of appalled me.

Oh, yes.
RFB and D if they had the book i needed for college, the
volunteers
sounded
just as enthusiazed as I was in reading it.
Smile.
And I always loved the ones who ate gum while they read.

amen. I looked for Kipling and there was only one volume very
well
recorded
but when I wanted to hear it again It had disappeared. I got
rfb to
record
what turned out to be the complete kipling but then had to deal
with
people
reading poetry with no real knowledge of how to do it and with
difficulty
pronouncing some of the Names and names of places -
understandable if you
are not familiar with India or 19th Century British army
terminology.
Though
even today I would guess it would not be hard to find kids who
have read
the
poetry in The Jungle Books or the Just So Stories or their
parents, too.
I
appreciate the work rfb volunteers went through to record that
tome but I
wanted the poems as he wrote them so I scanned the book with
Kurzweil and
am
now trying to make sure the poems scan properly (scan as in
lines as K
wrote
them of the length he wanted them). I may have to submith the
Kurzweil
copy which scan (copied) the pages correctly but they don't
always come
out
that way and I was warned that theBookshare computer would
ignore the
lines
much as they did in other books of poetry I have gotten but I
can only
try
to get someone to realize the importanct of the lines. However,
I have
hopes
even If I cannot do it. In any event it has to be better, even
with a
computer voice, that what I heard. in the well meant recording.

Someone, I believe it was on here was wondering why we should
work on
books
already recorded on cassette by NLS.
I have a story to tell and how to illustrate a good advantage
for doing
just
that.
I borrowed from my local cooperating branch a copy of
Rilla of Ingleside.
It arrived her the other day and I popped it into the player,
have been
wanteding to read this and had Just finished Rainbow valley.
Well... the tape was old, and warped, and no matter all the
"usual"
tricks,
I couldn't get the tape to play properly.
So... after being disgusted by it, putting it back into its
little green
box, slapping the string on the latch and thinking I would call
them
today
about it, I had a brainstorm.
I got online, found Rilla of Ingleside in the Bookshare
collection and
grabbed it, popped it into the book courier and all was well
again.
I do like listening to human readers though some of them are
quite
grating
on me, but I still like the flexibility of choosing what format
works
best
for me.
Smile.
This isn't the first time this has happened, but... it was the
most
recent.
