I actually wanted to read 'Little Laughing Boy', which appears to be unclaimed -
but in the Gutenberg text it is presented as Chapter 4 (IV,) which has already been claimed...

Johnny - that is due to the Preface so then all the Chapter numbers move down one. When we ask for items to read - we ask for them based on the Section number on the left side of the Magic Window - not the Chapters as shown in the text. You will also find in some books the Chapters are broken down into Part 1 and 2 etc. So then there are WAY more sections than Chapters as a recording cannot be longer than an hour (or so).

Net is when you want to read a certain Chapter - look for the title of it in the MW and then request that Section.

You need to wait until in this case Phil assigns it to you in the MW. Never start recording until a section is assigned to you

Yes you CAn! that sect ion (sect ion 5) is all yours. Yeah, I know, As Lynda explained, we simply can't always follow the chapters exactly and have learned to go by sect ions which, in this case is sect ion 5 but actually chapter 4 in the book. So when you record and export the file, be sure to name it section 5. OK?

Can I have 5, 8, and 11 please?

(I've just finished - sort of! - the main story that was bugging me, and I missed the deadline on a couple of others.
Nil probs - they can be rolled over to the next collections! )

Still, this looks like being a very popular read - so I wanted to get my dibs in!

Yes, it seems popular. Just to be sure, would you post the titles of the sections you want to read? I have already given you 5 (laughing boy) and I want to be sure you get the right ones. thanks.

The preface and chapter 1 have been put into the magic window for proof listening. Here's hoping some kind person volunteers for this interesting book soon.

Oh Phil!

I will volunteer! I have already recorded my 2 sections though - do you mind listening to them for me?

If not, I will just give them up and DPL instead....

Hey Phil -

Both your recordings are PL OK - great to listen to!

I have one question though as I might have made a mistake in my recordings. You have us recording Chapter (x) so for your recording of the poem was marked Section 1 and you said Chapter 1 during the recording. However in the book it is NOT Chapter 1, in fact the next reading is Chapter 1 (which is Section 2).

Did you mean us to record the Section number or the Chapter number for our recordings? I know some BC's have us record Chapter numbers as they match the Section numbers however in this case they do not and I am wondering if instead of Chapter you want us to say Section???

I hope I have not confused you...

Regards, the lovely Lynda
