The Wizard of Oz, Chapters 17 through end

The last set of chapters from The Wizard of Oz are ready for download. If they've brightened any corners, great!

The Wizard of Oz, Chapters 9 through 16

The middle set of chapters from The Wizard of Oz are ready for download. Just as amateurish as the first, but still very, very cheap.

After this lot is done, I will likely be passing newly-read books off on to LibriVox for storage. So at least they won't disappear.

next week: 17 through to the end

The Wizard of Oz, Chapters 1 through 8

I'm not anything like a trained reader, but for what they're worth, the first eight chapters of Baum's The Wizard of Oz are ready for download. Complete with the odd household background noise, fumbled words and, at times, very odd pacing. Significantly cheaper than iTunes. No DRM. No incidental music, either. I don't even hum.

Audio files take up a ton of space, so I can't host them indefinitely. If anyone out there has scads of webspace to donate to the cause, don't be shy!

next week: 9 through 16
