August 2nd, 2007 at 9:07 amHello! Thank you so much for your recording of Pride and Prejudice. I came across it on gutenberg.org. I enjoy listening to it at work. One can never get too much of P&P! I was also happy to find that it was recorded by a fellow St. Louisan.
October 11th, 2007 at 12:28 pmThanks so much for taking the time to record this book!! I’m studying it for my English degree and I’m sure this will make it a lot easier for me to juggle all the other work I have to do…
October 27th, 2007 at 9:00 amI have listened to your reading over ten times now, I can not get enough of it. I love the book and the 1995 Miniseries. Your recording just makes it ten times better! Thanks a lot for what you did!

I just had a wisdom tooth out. Bah. My cousin came over and read P&P to me for a while, and when she went home I listened to your recording, picking up where she left off
Very comforting!

March 10th, 2008 at 3:46 pmDear Annie,
April 16th, 2008 at 3:25 pmThank you for reading this book and sharing it online. I’ve seen 4 Versions of the story and read the book in german. And now I can listen to you reading it in english. I’m driving 2,5 hours to work and back every day through Bavaria. It’s a pretty boring and lost time, but now I’m lookong forward to every new morning to hear the next chapters. Thank you very much it gives me great pleasure.
