I would love to see Pippa Passes completed. It's taking a LOT longer than I expected.
It's dramatic prose/poetry (mostly prose), but don't let that scare you! It's mostly small, male roles. We're talking 200 words or fewer on many of them!
13 parts to claim - 12 male, 1 female.
See the project thread HERE, and there's good information in the second post as well.

Important note to all BCs: Your projects are eagerly awaited by listeners, many of whom sign up to be emailed when the project is catalogued. For that reason, and also because there is limited space on the Librivox server, we do want to make sure that all projects move steadily towards completion.
Please look through your projects for uncompleted sections that were claimed by readers more than 2 months ago.
Post a reply in your project thread saying:
| Quote: | | "To be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, all unrecorded sections that were claimed more than 2 months ago will be orphaned on November 7th unless the claimants post in this thread before then to reclaim the section." |
| Code: | | [color=red]"To be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, all unrecorded sections that were claimed more than [b]2 months ago[/b] will be orphaned on [b]November 7th[/b] unless the claimants post in this thread before then to reclaim the section."[/color] |
Please also edit your first post to include this info.
We want to help you complete your projects. All orphaned sections will then be added to the November clean-up effort. Many thanks for your help in this!

Also, please add "New Grub Street by George Gissing" to the list of projects written under "english fiction". There are 18 available sections in the project. This is a great book, and I would love to give it a big push to the catalogue. Please help me to give it the needed push.
In addition, it will be good to have a link to where we- bcs- can see how many listeners want to be knotefied when our project is complete.
Stav.

8 projects catalogued in the first 2 days of November? This, folks, could be a record month.
Target to beat: 113.

The History Of Lady Julia Mandevil, a less known 18th century version of the story of romeo and juliet, has 20 more sections waiting to be claimed. The sections are very short, most under 3000 words, and the book is very interesting. So, I invite you to come and claim section- promessing that you'll enjoy them. Here is a link to the project's thredd:

I've just added:
[PHILOSOPHY] An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation by Jeremy Bentham. 10 sections available
to the non-fiction list.
This project has been re-activated - not a very easy or light-hearted read, but very interesting. We are leaving out footnotes etc.

Hi, I just orphaned 5 sections from Arabian Nights Entertainments (it's on the list, marked Fully Subscribed).
Nice idea, this. Also means I'll have to rush and record all my outstanding sections...

So... it is November 7th, and I am expecting to see a lot of orphaned sections in the next couple of days. As I slosh around the forums with my mop and bucket, I am seeing many sections that were claimed several months back, and are really holding up projects that could be catalogued this month.
Please post orphans in the Orphans thread, and I will pick them up and add them to the clean-up post.
Thank you, everybody! And particular thanks to those who are wading in and helping to clean up. 
Ruth
