Audiobook of "Memoirs of a Revolutionist, Vol 1", by Peter Kropotkin

Yay, I'm done with my first Librivox project! It's seven and a half hours long, and you can download it over here (the easiest way is with "zip file of the entire book"). Here's a summary:

Peter Kropotkin was a Russian anarcho-communist and scientist. This is his autobiography, and he writes not only about his own life, but also about 19th century Russian society and politics. He was born into the nobility and had a military education, but he gradually abandoned the values of his social class and became an anti-authoritarian socialist, opposed to both the rule of the Tsars and to the seizing of power by the authoritarian Bolsheviks. He was also interested in literature, biology, economics and geographical exploration. This first volume of his memoirs covers his childhood, his education, and the time he spent in Siberia.

Podfic of my story "Depot"

Weirdly, my grandmother died while I was recording this fic (in which Martha Fraser dies). She was 95 and had a minor heart attack recently, so it wasn't unexpected. She was...not at all like Martha Fraser, actually. I visited her last in August, when I was down in the south to be with my family. She was always so positive in her outlook, even when she was confused about who I was and how old she herself was. And the night before she died, Mom and Dad were there with her, and she was so happy that they were there and that everyone at the hospital were so good to her, and even flirted with one of the male nurses. I will miss her. A couple of years ago, Dad recorded lots of tapes of her telling the story of her life, and I'm going to listen to those and remember her.

So, um, if you just followed the link to get the podfic, feel free to just grab it.
