Thank you, MaryAnn!

You can move this to 'Readers Found,' if you'd like.

[MaryAnnSpiegel]

Done!

[Kitty]

Yes, 8 more! Everyone will be assigned to 38 sections.

I am actually wondering whether we need to do more sections, at least some of us. 152/4 = 38 but 3 poems get done by more than one person, so I think in the end there will be some left Or am I making an error of calculation ?

btw thanks for all my sections I feel like I really got what I wanted. I hope it also worked out great for you and Gaby (since Lian wasn't picky, she will be happy I suppose).

Hmmm. You may be right. I'm guessing that would mean there would be 7 left unclaimed (36 + 36 + 35 + 35 + 3 = 145; 145 + 7 = 152)? *prays his math has not failed him*

If so, then three people will get to do two more, and only one person will do one more.

Should we wait until Gaby and Lian have finished claiming? Then we can see what's left.

I came to the same conclusion But my head was spinning by the time I was done LOL

edit: actually no ! So far we are doing 34 + 34 + 33 + 33 + 3 = 137, so there will be 15 left.

If so, then three people will get to do two more, and only one person will do one more.

I calculated one person needs to do 38 (single ones) and the three others 37. Including the 3 cooperative poems, that's 152. I would say, you and Gaby can do at least one more if not two, because you have the duet, that only counts as half.

So in the end: 3 people will appear in 40 poems and 1 in only 39.

good idea

I don't blame you; I bet most people on here don't have to deal with projects as big as this!

This makes sense. Should've sat down and thought this through a little more, but the main thing is is that we figured it out without having to find out at the very end.

Gaby and Lian, you are now free to claim more sections!

[zwergwolf]

Tomas, please go ahead for "When Lilacs Last in the Door-yard Bloomed", you must must must read it

Thanks for all your work sorting things out and doing all the math, Sonia and Tomas! I'm absolutely happy with "my" poems and I don't care about reading one or two more or less.

I'll have a closer look when getting home from work.

[zwergwolf]

The following poems have been desired by at least two people who have listed them as "I'd really like to read":

For Annie (Gaby/Tomas)
When My Ship Comes In (Gaby/Tomas)

Tomas, may I read "When My Ship Comes In" and you go for "For Annie"? Or vice versa if you prefer...

I'd also like to read the following, please:
33 - The Hour of Death
57 - The May Queen

There are four poems left which I'd be glad to avoid reading:
14 - God's Sure Help In Sorrow
37 - Thanatopsis
44 - God's-Acre
147 - After Death

For all the remaining ones, I would be glad to have Lian make a choice - I'll be happy to be assigned to whatever is left open then

[WiltedScribe]

Great, Gaby! All additions/adjustments have been made.
