If you want the job, Rose, you are president of any book club that I join. Updated the MW. Thank you.

Why, of course, you are president of the book club.

What a beautiful rendition of Ms Wharton!
Greetings -

Section 8 is PL OK.

Edith Wharton...yes. But, did I hear just a bit of Rod Serling in there too?

This is turning out to be a fun book to listen to.

This really is a fun book. Thank you, Lomond, for all your kind words, I try to do the best I can. I don't think Edith would have minded having a little Rod in her books.

Section 2 is now listed as PL OK. Great use of different voices.

One wee bit of concern, though. When you are doing some of the voices, such as that of the queen, you were driving your audio into the "red zone", i.e. louder than otherwise. No distortion noted, so this is just a concern. Moving a bit away from the microphone should help a lot.

I have updated the MW to reflect that chapter 09 is ready for PL.
Thank you Rose for your wonderful work on this project.
Best wishes, Brian

Greetings -

Three very well-read chapters (Chapter 1 by LGreene and Chapters 3 and 9 by Roselbex) have been added to the roster of PL OK offerings.

I thought the parody of Sinclair Lewis for Chapter 1 was the better of the three.

Three more parodies and this book will be done.
