it I s a great wonder that anyone would take part in any project on hear with all the criticism they get. These people are not auditioning for a part. This is a public service they do, I for one am very thankful to all who read for our enjoyment as should we all.
Look Past the Accents

These people take time to do this for us. I find it intriguing of the english accent speaking of Chinese teachings. Bridging Cultural Gaps at ots best. I love LibriVox

read by multiple people. audio level om reader to reader was consistent and read well. I listened chapter by chapter cause hearing "the master said" over and over was grating on my brain.

the breathing of the man who read the second book eroded my brain each time he breathed...maybe too close to the microphone
Oh dear

I can stream and download this one fine, georgo, I think your computer or net connection is the problem -- not this project. I'm looking forward to listening to the whole thing ... what I've sampled so far sounds interesting.
the sayings of confuscius
A LibriVox Listener
the content is wonderful but the readings are very hard for me to understand due to many of the readers heavy accents....they speak beautifully, but unfortunately I can't understand them.
Great book

I did not enjoy the accent of the second book/chapter where there was Andrea L I couldn't finish it. but the rest sounded really clear.
recorded silence longer than reading! no pride in work anymore!
Hyde N Jekyll
this is a joke, why does each book show the length of the reading but then have 15+ minutes of silence before proceeding to the next book??? it's almost like someone wants people to get annoyed & just not listen to the wisdom of Confucia... it's all good the Internet is vast & just dl this elsewhere since someone at librivox is obviously bias in oneway or another. what happened to providing access to knowledge & allowing the person to make an educated thought on their own? instead of having a table of jokers in powerful positions subjecting us to their own ideals &when the knowledge doesn't align with their Orwellian roadmap to the future they tamper or delete. interesting how the education system is so broken that the young adults are only indoctrinated & they can't form a unique thought or informed opinion. if they can't Google it, they don't know it & are worthless as contributors to society, & when you try to have a conversation about a topic they only repeat some talking heads view, then turn violent.🤦
