The first chapter was very interesting. I had no idea that modern astrology goes back way beyond the old Egyptians! Fascinating that there are still people believing in that...

Since I was able to complete 6 of the 7 pages in my section in just 2 recording sessions (The last(first) time I tried reading a full chapter -- Beethoven-- a similar word count took me about 8 sessions), I should be able to handle the 2nd half of "The Constellations" (sec 32) as well. (It looks like you were saving it for me!)

(Also, I like this guy's writing.... When do we start Vol 2?)

Volume 2 on Geology has a different author

Technically, as this is fully subscribed, it would be okay to start the second volume. However, personally I would wait still a bit more until maybe 80% of the sections are completed. Nothing more frustrating to have two volumes of the same topic going on at once because readers were dropping out somewhere...

However, it's Sienna's baby and thus her decision. If she wants to continue, I'll MC. (and read a couple sections too...)

Ooohhh.. I'd love to start soon....

But, I'd defer to Availle's wisdom and wait until 3/4 is completed.

31 PL OK.

That's fine (I was assuming it wouldn't be until this was complete....)

Because James is so eager to start the next volume, I'll do my bit...

Here is section 4, at 24:11:

Would enjoy being dpl on Vol. 2.

Thanks Dave!

Has your brain stopped smoldering yet? Maybe Geology will be easier on it?

Post by **craigdav1** » July 17th, 2015, 5:50 am

Certainly easier than Volumes 3 and 4!

Post by **Availle** » July 17th, 2015, 6:04 am

Not scared of Vol. 8?
