Out Of Copyright Audiobooks
« on: August 10, 2015, 04:01:59 am »

So I've been wanting to do this for a long time and kept putting it off, but I've started recording out of copyright books as audiobooks on my YouTube channel.  It's been done, but if I didn't think I could do it better than some of the audiobooks out of there, I wouldn't be doing it.  :D

The first one is Chapter One of the Thirty-Nine Steps, by John Buchan.  I love this novel, because it is not only a brilliant read, it is also the grandfather of all spy novels.  Long before Ian Fleming's Bond or John le Carre wrote his novels, Buchan's Richard Hannay defined the spy tale of an ordinary man, wrapped up in extraordinary events.

It is also highly entertaining that he is (like myself) extremely British.
