Hullo --- I'm new to all this, but I'd love to read some Voltaire as a first project. If you'll have me, I'm volunteering to read chapter 8-11.

Welcome, featherhead!

8-11 are yours. Please read the first post thoroughly---it should contain or link to everything you need to know to get off to a good start. Let me know if you have any questions!

Edward, I got those, thanks! They sound great!

Edward, forgot to ask you: How do you want your name to be listed in the catalog? Is there a personal URL you'd like to include?

EdwardT · Post by **EdwardT** » May 16th, 2006, 11:35 pm

Howdy, no personal URL for me, and if we use EdwardT as my catalogue name that'd be great.

It looks like I'll have time to do a few more chapters, so could I claim 12, 13, 14, 15?

Sure thing on all counts! Thanks!

Here are the first two chapters of Candide:

Chapter one

Chapter two
http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.php?action=download&ufid=F1E5F4AF5F0AED58

These were brisk reads (?7 minutes each) so sign me up for chapters 16, 17 and 18, where Candide arrives in El Dorado.

I really love this book! I happened to re-read it last year after having read it (too many) decades ago in high school. This time I thought it was hilarious -- I guess it helps (1) reading it in English and (2) not having to worry about writing a book report about it

Maybe I should sign up for a few more chapters...

Got 'em, Penguin. Spot-checks sound good! ^__^

BTW, how do you want your name listed in the catalog? Is there a personal URL you'd like to include?

As far as signing up for more, I wouldn't mind a bit. ...Although I decided to take 26 through the Conclusion for myself. ^_~

Reluctant Penguin · Post by **Reluctant Penguin** » May 25th, 2006, 4:47 am

OK, Fox -- sign me up for #19-23 and we can wrap this up!

(Yes, use my real name in the catalogue. No URL.)

Thanks Penguin!

Now that we're fully subscribed, I'll move the thread to Readers Found.

Everyone, please nudge up the priority level on your chapters if you can, so we can take this to the next phase! ^_^

Penguin, I got chapters 19-23. Spot checks sound good. Thanks so much for doing them so quickly! ^__^
