Crash, you are welcome to read whatever's open.

I'll put you in for Chapter 11. Since you are new, do you have a name you'd like to use for the catalog (besides your username)? We can also link to a website, if you like.

Crash will work .... I'll do my best to have it to you by Monday at the latest.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Carol, you were so fast! That's amazing!

We are well on our way to finishing, even before moving to Readers Found. I am deeply impressed by all of you.

Um, if you would like to have this chapter re-read by someone whose voice has a different timbre, I would understand that...

Tom, I think your voice is just fine. If anyone has a problem with the text as read, they can take it up with Mr. Washington.

There was a sound of paper rattling during the intro. I'll see if I can do some noise reduction on it. Also, for future recordings, please try and leave 5 seconds of silence at the end (10 seconds for recordings longer than 30 minutes).

I quite liked your reading.
