The reading of chapter 2 is PL OK, although you could run it through a round of noise cleaning. There's an ever so slight background buzz, which is really not bad at all, but cleaning it up could make it just a tad bit nicer to listen to.

I don't know if you're experienced with it, so I'm gonna explain in case you're not:
You can run Effects -> Noise Reduction in Audacity. First, select an area of "silence" (that is, something with no recording but only the slight background noise, such as the ending 5 seconds), go to Noise Reduction, and click "Get Noise Profile" (Step 1). The window closes, nothing seems to happen now, but Audacity now knows what kind of sounds to look for in the noise cleaning. Next, select the entire track, go to Noise Reduction again, and this time click "Ok" in the bottom of the window (Step 2). I don't know much about the different parameters, to be honest I personally just use the default parameters--but for a slight noise like this it shouldn't matter too much.

Section 3 has a bit of a similar background noise, in case you want to clean it.
Section 4 is PL OK!

Chapter 5 is also PL OK!

Sections 6 & 7 are PL OK!

This is the first time I'm PLing a proper book, instead of poetry, short stories, or essays. It's fun, I'm totally hooked
