I'll take chapter 9.

Since no one else has suggested a poem for next week yet, I'll suggest "The Owl and the Pussycat", by Edward Lear. Gutenberg has it at

Try positioning the mic slightly above and off to one side of your mouth. That'll help reduce the popping considerably and it'll also give the recordings a much greater dynamic range.
