Shall I continue on, or would you like someone else to have a chance?

I’ve given you the next 2 chapters. I don’t have a limit on how many sections are recorded by one reader, although I do suggest restricting yourself to, say, 5 sections at a time. Other BCs may have other guidelines, so you’ll need to check project by project.

Hi and welcome to Librivox!
There are a few things to do before you get started.
You will need to complete a one minute test - this is to check your specs are up to Librivox standards, and if not, you'll be given hints on how to remedy that. http://wiki.librivox.org/index.php/1-Minute_Test
Please post your test in the Listeners Wanted forum (see the dropdown at the bottom of the page) for the speediest response. Waiting for the OK may seem tedious, but can save time in the long run.
You will also need to be added to the catalog of readers. I will add you using your forum name, but if you prefer your real name or a pseudonym let me know. We can also link to a personal blog or website. Be sure to read the first post - all the info you need is there, but if anything doesn't make sense, just ask. The wiki (see the top of the page) has bundles of info too.

Lynnet,
I didn't realize there would be so much French quoted in this book. I can't speak it and I'm failing miserably at trying to pronounce it, even with the aide of Google Translate. I'm going to try to find a book in just English. Please take me off this one.
thanks

For future reference, we have a pronunciation help thread in the Need Help forum.
Also, rather than Google Translate, try howjasay.com (followed by the language)

So, for Chapter 10....
On pages 302 -305 , there's some crazy Middle English spelling going on. I found a translation that I'm going to read this from. Just wanted to let the bosses know 8-)

It's letter # XXVIII, about halfway down the page.

That’s fine with me. I’ll add that text to the project page.
