EDIT: Ack! But only if you'll send me a recording of the German intro to chapter 18 that I can include in the recording *grins*

It's a deal! Thanks a lot.

I'd love to do the last two chapters, if I might.

But only if everyone promises not to laugh at my german intro bit. It ain't gut.

There is nothing in this world I would like better than to read Chap.'s 22 and 23, which seem to be lurking after my previous reads most significantly.

(And then -- READERS FOUND! Whoohoo!)

Oh Cori, that would be wonderful. Thank you!

I seem to have the honour of reading the final chapter, just wondering do I just say "End of chapter 25", or shall I say "End of The Getting of Wisdom, by Henry Handel Richardson"?

Usually we say something like "End of chapter X and end of [title] by [author]." - Thanks, asy!

OK, I've had a disaster of a day, sorry, my ex decided to prove his manlyness by taking his anger at me out on our 10yo daughter, so I've spent the day between solicitors and doctors and schools etc. So I didn't get the recording done. Sorry.

I will try to do at least one tonight, and not sure whether I'll have a quiet enough house to do the other one at Mum's but otherwise Ill be home next Monday, so it'll be Monday night at the latest.

Again, hope I haven't let anyone down...

{{asy ... hugs}}

This project started on the 3rd March last year ... it's not that difficult to read, and it's just one of the mysteries of the world why it's taken such a long time to read. But all in all -- there's absolutely no reason to apologise over a few days here and there -- Life happens. (Well, until someone invents the pause button, anyway. And how nice that'll be.) I've still got a chapter to go, and thistlechick's got two, so it's not like ANYONE is glaring at your chapters wishing them done sooner. Do 'em as you can manage: this is for fun, and isn't meant to add to stress levels.

I'm looking forward to hearing you read them, whenever they get done.

Yes, no pressure, asy.

Cori - partly my fault that this has taken so long to complete. Bronwyn Kate, who started it, disappeared after a few months, and I took it over because we already had some readers, but at the time I didn't have much interest in the project (now I've listened to most of it and like it) and had too many projects already, and didn't push much, so some newbie readers never delivered, etc.

Now I'm really pleased to see it's going again, and I'll listen to the rest of it myself, so it won't have to go into LW.

So thanks everyone for helping with this. I'm sure we'll get it done in March, which is great!
