I'm interested in taking on Section 0, if it's not already earmarked for anyone...
I am fascinated by this author, his life, and this book!
Welcome, Rel, and thanks so much for taking on Section 0!

Awesome, great!

I'm on it...

I would love to take on sections 10 through 14! I'll be a first time reader and and dont want to take on something too daunting hahaha! I will also submit my 1 minute test of course, I meant to request them last night but started reading the book instead, thanks!

I would love for you to read sections 10 through 14. Can we make a deal that I'll hold them for you until your 1 minute test is OK'd? Thanks, Brian PS, I'll hold them awhile, but not forever - OK?

PL for Section 0
Well done with all the French!

Just a little thing, but I think it's necessary: "M. + name" means "Monsieur" (as Mr. means 'Mister'), so
56s "M. Zola" needs to be read as "Monsieur Zola"; also at 10:07
11:03 Likewise "M. Loti" = "Monsieur Loti"; also at 14:41, 15:46 and 16:39; and at 14:11 "Monsieur Loti’s works"
12:07 And again "M. Paul Bourget ‘s" = "Monsieur..."

(Optional - French pronunciation of Orleans at 4:34 "Duke of Orleans".)

Otherwise excellent!

That'll be great thank! And I just moved into a new house and I'm finishing putting my recording setup back together so I should have the test done tomorrow for you!

Holy moley! Don't knock yourself out on my behalf! Not that I want to discourage you, mind you! Admirable ambition and enthusiasm on your part ... Thanks for wanting to do this project. Really looking forward to hearing your work. I have a feeling it will be exceptional.
