For those who are interested the latest offering from Librivox is:

聊斋志异 by 蒲松龄

《聊斋志异》,清代短篇小说集,是蒲松龄的代表作,在他40岁左右时基本完成,此后不断有所增补和修改。“聊斋”是他的书屋名称,“志”是记述的意思, “异”指奇异的故事。全书有短篇小说491篇,内容十分广泛,多谈狐、魔、花、妖,以此来概括当时的社会关系,反映了17世纪中国的社会面貌。书中写的是 一个花妖鬼狐的世界,既有对如漆墨黑的社会现实的不满,又有对怀才不遇、仕途难攀的不平;既有对贪宫污吏狼狈为奸的鞭笞,又有对勇于反抗,敢于复仇的平民 的称赞;而数量最多、质量上乘、写得最美最动人的是那些人与狐妖、人与鬼神以及人与人之间的纯真爱情的篇章。 (来自百度百科)

One of the most famous collections of Chinese stories about the supernatural and spooky! Thanks for bringing this up, and for calling attention to one of my favorite websites, librivox. They do wonderful work.

SKYFX, 我觉得一个人感兴趣对某国家的书跟他自己来源应该没有什么大关系.

我已经看过了'聊斋志异' 的英语翻译, 好看的很!

我现在也正在看 '白话聊斋,' 这不仅容易读而且对日常用语很有用.

聊斋志异里有很多妖狐鬼怪的故事,很有意思!记得小时候看书,会被吓的晚上睡不着觉的!我最最喜欢的是《画皮》,里面有个青面獠牙的怪物,小时候常常梦到它。

现在不流行看书自虐了,连我都提不起看聊斋志异的兴趣,更不用提外国人了,再说读了这个对日常生活中文是没有任何帮助的,实在想体验就睡前听鬼故事,或者晚上把房间里等都关了开大声音看恐怖电影好了,保证爽翻天。

i think 聊斋志异 is too difficult for people who just begin to learn chinese,i suggest if you are the advanced level in chinese and have great interest in 文言文,then you can read 聊斋志异

半年没来这里了!我是中国人,我来这study English 的

我发现这里有些外国人过分“研究”中文!

这么难得文章也研究,“斋”这个字我看一大半中国人都未必会写.

《聊斋志异》这本书读的人很少!!

要学中文直接去读“金庸”的《天龙八部》和《笑傲江湖》就可以了。

@zyfjcty:

应该是“听课和读书是两种完全不一样的感觉”,是吧?

……好没自信
