Americans and Others
A collection of sometimes biting, always clever commentaries on some of life’s foibles — as apt today as when Ms. Repplier wrote them in 1912. Though less know to modern readers, Repplier was in her prime ranked among the likes of Willa Cather. Note: Section 13 contains the word niggards. I put it in print here so that it will not be mistaken for a racial epithet when heard. (written by Mary Schneider) [chương_files]

Self and Self-management: Essays about Existing
Bennett’s essays always provide food for thought and bring a wry smile to the lips. Human nature, it appears, changes little over the ages, and Bennett’s writing stands the test of time, though in the case of some of the essays in this eclectic collection, it is well to remember that they were written at the time of the First World War and the fight for women’s suffrage.

Raven and Other Poems
“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping — rapping at my chamber door. “Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door — Only this and nothing more.””. Those sonorous and somber words of Edgar Allan Poe that begin The Raven are part of most everyone’s fond educational memories. Beautiful and haunting to hear and even more fun to read aloud. In this recording I have just attempted to express my enjoyment of the beauty in some favorite Poe poems. Beside The Raven, there are Alone; A Dream Within A Dream; Annabel Lee; City In the Sea; The Bells; A Dream Within a Dream; Annabel Lee; Dreamland; Evening Star; Lenore; Eldorado; A Valentine and “The Happiest Day”. Hopefully listeners will enjoy hearing them half as much as I enjoyed the selfish pleasure of recording them. (Summary by Phil Chenevert) [chương_files]
