The Best of Librivox
Anything the narrator Mark Nelson has done is excellent. He sticks mostly the better 1950s SciFi. E.g. Lone Star Planent, Space Viking and Cosmic Computer. Here is his Catalog: https://librivox.org/reader/251 Edit: Clean up link More on reddit.com

I’ve played around with it. It’s better than nothing and I’m glad it exists for those looking into audiobooks or where money is very tight but I should admit I’m spoiled on the more professionally narrated audiobooks. Some are pretty well done but some aren’t. I just hope new audiobook listeners don’t begin there and assume they’re all like that in terms of production and voice acting and get turned off from audiobooks. But I’ll be honest and also admit I’ve paid money for a very few “professional” narrated audiobooks that were poorly done. (Anne of Green Gables read by Rachel McAdams and an Audible Exclusive, for instance) More on reddit.com

r/audiobooks on Reddit: The Best of Librivox
November 4, 2015 -
This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org.
So... Librivox provide free public domain audiobooks. There are thousands of books on there often with multiple recordings. Some of the books are a single narrator, some change every couple of chapters.
But by it's nature, Librivox is very hit and miss. Some are great. Some are not worth the cost (and for a free item, that's saying something)
So, we are wanting to put together a list for the r/audiobooks wiki showing user recommendations for what is thest best of Librivox.
What we are looking for:
if there is a particular librivox recording you have liked.
a particular librivox narrator that does consistently good work.
What we do not want:
General titles: "Count of Monte Cristo is a great classic.". Yes, it is. But unless you can point us to a specific recording that is actually listenable the comment is overly useful (at least not as a top comment)
comments like "forget librivox, [professional narrator] has a version of [Public Domain Classic] for [value above free] on [Retail Site]
This is a LibriVox recording. All LibriVox recordings are in the public domain. For more information, or to volunteer, please visit librivox.org.

Stewart Wills does a really good job with Moby Dick here: https://librivox.org/moby-dick-by-herman-melville . If you have been maybe looking for a way to get into this book, I would highly recommend this reading. My only problem with it is that the recordings are not separated into individual chapters, which can awkward if you're like me and occasionally want to listen to listen to one chapter in particular, but that's a common complaint I have with lots of audiobooks.

I was wondering how many here use Librivox.org? For those who don't know what Librivox is, it is a website where you can find public domain audiobooks read by amateur readers. There are a lot of famous books whose copyrights have expired. Some of my favorite authors are, Lewis Sinclair and Theodore Dreiser. You can even find Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoyevsky and if you have not listened to, An American Tragedy or, 'The Trilogy of Desire' ( The Financier, The Titan, and The Stoic) by Dreiser then you don't know what you are missing. .

r/audiobooks on Reddit: I created a website to listen to free audiobooks from librivox with a better UX
June 23, 2024 -
I have been learning web development and I created BookRadio, a website where you can listen to over 20,000 audiobooks for free from the librivox dataset with a better UX. You can also filter the books according to genres, languages and duration and search for any type of book to find the best match for yourself. Check it out and let me know your thoughts.
