you might want to track down a non-profit organization that does this sort of thing. they will be able to help you with stuff like legal problems and which books are in most demand.

I love audiobooks but I agree, you need to be careful about copyright infringement.

I looked on Audible and could not find the Princess Bride by william Goldman, that one might be fun to read.

What about Not If I See You First by Eric Lindstrom.

The one book series I deeply regret not having audiobooks for is the Renshai trilogy by Mickey Zucker Reichert. ("The Last of the Renshai", "The Western Wizard", and "Child of Thunder"). They were some of my favorites growing up and I would love to hear them.

Because we'll never meet, I forgot who by, but I started reading it and thought it was very sweet, but my eyes for pretty awful during spring to the point where I could no longer see any words :)

Hi! I ordered this book and it just came in. Are you still interested in an audio recording? I haven't read anything out loud since teachers made us do it in high school, and my voice is pretty scraggly, but I'd be happy to give it a shot. Maybe send you a chapter to see if it's worth continuing?

Oh, hi! I would greatly appreciate that if you don't mind doing so :)
DJShhhh1 points2y ago
Not at all! What is the best way for me to send it to you?
Trying-To-Live-2 points2y ago
If you could possibly publish it to YouTube as public or unlisted, you could just send me a link through the chat system on reddit.

Is it "because you'll never meet me"? By Leah Thomas? It's on Amazon pretty cheap (FYI for OP).
Trying-To-Live-2 points3y ago
Yeah!

I've seen some people reading audiobooks on youtube, but theres a book that I haven't been able to find anywhere. I don't think it was ever officially read as an audobook.
It's the (auto?)biography of a very famous wrestler. "Harley Race: King of the Ring"
I'm a fan of older pro wrestling and like hearing about the stories of the lives that the wrestlers lead. I have heard on several different podcasts who have mentioned this book as being a very interesting read.
I don't know if you will have trouble finding a copy, it may be out of print, but I haven't tried very hard to find it because I can't read it anyways.
