Here is section 37 - Book III, Chapter XV: Of Money Considered as an Imported Commodity. Please give it a listen. Track length is 10:12.28, volume is 87.7 dB. This is my first go at non-fiction, any feedback happily accepted!

Section 37 is PL OK! You did a great job, Mike! It is different reading non-fiction as compared to fiction, but you did just fine!
Thanks. OK, then let's try something a little (OK, a lot) bigger, can I take on 17 Book II, Chapter II: Of Wages?

all right, this is not an April Fool's joke, but as my first participation in the April's challenge I will broaden my horizon with an economy book. I will be humble and claim the smallest chapter though
47 Book IV, Chapter IV: Consequences of the Tendency of Profits to a Minimum, and the Stationary State
let's hope I understand enough to give my reading credibility

ah, I'm not shying away from a challenge and actually, I am pleased to say, contrary to my fears, I did understand the chapter I was recording Mill's ideas were quite sound from what I glimpsed in this chapter.
