If you have recently learned English or speak with a heavy accent like the woman reading for The Portrait Part 1, then don't read for librivox. I have had to turn off quite a few really interesting books simply because I can't understand what's being read. This was one of those times. I can't begin to comprehend what would make a person with difficulty speaking a language read a book out loud in that language for other people to try and decode. Stop it.
