Excellent point. Thank you!

Wow! Where do I start? First off, I read aloud between 120 and 150 wmp. 250 would be ridiculously fast. Second, I read aloud to my wife. It is our way of sharing a book. She does not read to me aloud because of lack of style. We don't read independently to discuss -- she does read to...

I'm not sure I did either. My pronunciations do not always match the Audio Book professionals. Still, I came up with something that resembled the name on the page.

Thank you for your kind comments. I have read several of Sanderson's other work, starting with the whole Mistborn series. My wife is now reading those at bedtime. We usually have three books each going: One for ourselves at bedtime, one we share outloud, and something lighter. After...

I submitted my audition today.

From The Old Man and the Library to The Great Gatsby! What a change

Thank you, Lenore

Welcome aboard! We are just starting a re-read Harry Potter group! Sounds like you have dived in head first.

Everyone has been very nice. I find a lot of common interests, not just WoT but other books, music, languages, etc.
