Hello! Can I please claim sections 52, 53, 54 56, 59, 60? I think these are the remaining unclaimed sections.
Also, I had a look at the HTML version of the text on Gutenberg and it only seems to go up to chapter 49. Am I missing something?
Regards,
Hypatia
YAY! Thanks for claiming!
If you just rolled to the end, you probably went too far: that html has the full three books of the work, and the third book finishes with chapter 49. But here we are doing just Book 1.

Leni, there is some parenthesis in chapter 55. Is there a general rule for how to read that ("Parenthesis - end of parenthesis")?
Hey, merendo. No rule there. Personally, what I do is just change voice inflection, but that only works if the parentheses don't run for too long. Otherwise, yes, stating "parenthesis... end of parenthesis" is a good idea. I think you can judge what would make it more understandable to the reader. Thanks again!

Alright, thanks. I'll use my best judgement case-by-case

After a week, Donavan hasn't read my message and he hasn't been on the forum since Nov 10. So I am orphaning sections 24 and 25. Any takers?
