The Last Egyptian by L. Frank Baum (1856 - 1919).

All audio files can be found on our catalog page: http://librivox.org/the-last-egyptian-by-l-frank-baum/
Published anonymously during Baum's lifetime as he did not want his adult adventure stories to detract from his children's fantasy stories, the story takes the limited points of view of three protagonists in the field of Egyptology. A complex tale of intrigue, embezzlement, forgery, arranged marriages, bigotry and cheating keep the reader guessing the outcome until the last chapter.
    1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
    2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
    3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
    4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/55020
    5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

Thank you for claiming. You get 2 months in which to submit your files, so you can claim as many sections as you think you can complete in that time... but as one who has been over-enthusiastic in my claiming in the past, I understand your caution.

Chapter One.

==================================================
Very nicely read. Just a couple of comments:

l. At 12:12, I heard "Scholars of Egypt".....I expected to hear "Scholars of Europe"
2. At 15:40 I heard "As he would like".....I expected "As if he would like"

One note to keep in mind....the checker brought the sound level in at 92 db--which is the very top of the scale. In the future you may want to reduce your amplification a bit.

I appreciated your reading.

Philip
