I'm looking forward to this project! I think I have looked at this book myself, but I can't be sure on that. It does look familiar, and I am glad that you and Magdalene are working on this one.

Off we go to Going Solo!

Christ is risen!
I read the Sayings of the Desert Fathers when I was at the monastery. Loved every bit of it! I still have to take care of my recording setup and post my sample--should be done by Friday at the latest. I also saw the post about claiming no more than 2 sections at a time.

This would be my first recording with LibriVox, and I would be honored to read the first 2 sections.

I see that someone else has claimed sections 1 and 2 so, may I claim 3 and 4 if they are still available. If not I’m open to anything that is available.
Thanks,
JL
