Hi, just checking in! My apologies for not getting my recording in yet. If it's ok, I'd like another couple weeks to get it done. I've been swamped at work

I promise I haven't forgotten

I'll just update the MW

Thank you!

That would be great! What would you like to use as your catalog name? It can be your forum name, real name, or something else

Thank you for checking in. Hopefully you'll be less swamped soon

Could I use E. J. Hancock? If not, Emilie J. Hancock is fine, too!

Thanks Kathrine; I've added E.J. to the project. Welcome aboard, Emilie!

Formerly banned in the province of Hunan, China, beginning in 1931,[3] for its portrayal of anthropomorphized animals acting on the same level of complexity as human beings.

I'd like to read sections 13 and 15, if I may, the selections from Carroll and Kant (hard to resist reading such differing texts in the same collection... love it!)

Section 5 is PL OK! Great reading! Interesting to hear his thoughts on browsing

Ah, when he talks of the joy of discovering books yourself -- ain't that the truth...

mrsp · Post by **mrsp** » March 3rd, 2017, 7:26 am

Yes Katherine! I thought the entire section was sooo interesting!

MW updated, thx!

I'd like to claim 14, 17, and 19

For 17, does "The Analects, by Confucius - Section I" mean I should read "Book 1" of this?
