Thanks, opheliad, that's high praise coming from you.

Could I have Book 1, Chapter 13, just to be daring?

Yes, someone who likes to be daring!

Chapter 13 book 1 now has your name on it.

Here it is, as I appear to be on a bender.

Impressive, junkscience - what a turnaround! Thank you so much for contributing, it sounds great

I hope I'm not being too anal, but I decided to rerecord Chapter 3 to try to make it a bit cleaner and less breathy. I'll probably redo Chapter 13 later, but then I promise to take a long break.

That's fine, though not at all necessary - still, I can understand you wanting to 'get it right' in your own eyes. I'll upload the new version of chapter 3 today.

and if i should ever again choose a chapter whose main point is to ridicule someone reading aloud a text he is clearly not qualified to read aloud... just shoot me

when will i learn to aviod dickens? wonderful to read to yourself but doing it in front a microphone is a recipe for disaster!

I so very much enjoyed this reading!!! So humorous! Such great great voices! The Mrs. was adorable. I could picture her feathered hat.

This is such a splendid reading -- I smiled, I laughed, I totally thoroughly enjoyed it and I DO hope you will read more. PLEASE!! It was a treat. And I adore treats.

could i read Book 1, Chapter 09? i just signed up at Librivox and this is the only book that i know that's currently in progress.

I'll give book 1, chapter 10 a try.

Javawizard - book 1 chapter 9 is all yours,
and galaxiant - you are down for book 1, chapter 10.

Thanks for volunteering, and welcome to Librivox!

As this is your first recording, you might like to do as others have done and submit a 1 minute trial run just to see that your technical side is aok, before doing the whole thing.

By the way, Javawizard, there are lots of other books in progress here; you might like to have a look around and volunteer for other works once you're through with your OMF chapter

Thanks Opheliad. I'm looking forward to getting things set up and trying this out. I'll send the trial when it is ready. It will be another week before I have the time to get set up so don't worry if you don't see a quick turnaround. I'll be in touch.

opheliad · Post by **opheliad** » September 11th, 2006, 10:07 pm

No problem, when you're ready.

opheliad · Post by **opheliad** » September 12th, 2006, 4:05 pm

It has been brought to my attention that some people (me included) have been saying "Book the First" at the beginning of their recordings, and some people "Book 1".

Unless a kind Libri-Veteran would like to give advice to the contrary, I would say it doesn't really matter which you use. "Book the First" is what is written in the Gutenberg text, but "Book One" is equally understandable. Consistency is nice, but not essential in this case in my opinion.
