I have created a separate Page (as opposed to Blog Post) with all these links - in case you want to bookmark it. See the sidebar for the link.

The Hebrew Project: Writings - Ruth, Song of Songs, Eccesiastes/Qohelet, Lamentations, Esther, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah
Ruth (t29)
Verses 4:18-22 are chanted.
Song of Songs (t30)
Chapter 1 is sung, as are verses 8:1-7.
Eccesiastes (t31) aka Qohelet
Lamentations (t32)
The entire book of Lamentations is chanted!
Esther (t33)
Daniel (t34)
Ezra (t35a)
Nehemiah (t35b)
The Hebrew Project: The Poetic Books - Psalms, Proverbs, Job
In the study of Biblical Hebrew, these 3 books are sometimes called the Poetic Books. They use a system of Hebrew accents/notation different from the rest of the Bible.
Psalms (t26)
Interestingly, no chanting here. Verse 63:1 has a word chopped short.
Proverbs (t28)
The audio from this book was not great on the Mechon-Mamre site. Much better copy at torahclass.com
Job (t27)
The Hebrew Project: Kethuvim/Writings. 1 and 2 Chronicles.
Onto the final division of the Hebrew Bible: Writings.
1 Chronicles (t25a)
2 Chronicles (t25b)
1 Chronicles 2:51 and 2:52a are missing. Verses 17:20-21 are chanted, with repetitions.
2 Chronicles has patches of poor sound quality after chapter 9 - lots of Max Headroom-ing. Words are missing in verse 12:9, 12:15, 16:14, 17:17, 18:11, 18:26, 18:30, 20:1 and 15, and 21:2.

The Hebrew Project: Nevi'im/Prophets - The Minor Prophets/Book of the Twelve
The Hebrew Project: Nevi'im/Prophets - The Major Prophets
Isaiah (t10)
Jeremiah (t11)
Ezekiel (t12)
More chanting here : Isaiah 6:3, and Isaiah 12:1-6. The first word is missing in verse 3:9. In v. 36:17, half of the final word is missing. In 52:7, half of the first word
Jeremiah 44:1 is missing the final 3 words and 44:2-6 are omitted as well. In a couple of places a different reader takes over from Fr. Abraham's dulcet tones.
In Ezekiel, verse 21:2 cuts off after the word hinave (הנבא) and verse 21:3 begins with hineni (הנני). a pretty big omission.
In verse 26:3 and 28:24 the name of God (tetragrammaton) is removed.
The Hebrew Project: Nevi'im/Prophets -- Historical Books
The "History" of Israel with links to files of audio mp3 of each verse (mostly)
In the book of Joshua, audio verses 21:36 and 21:37 are missing.
I should point out that I am comparing the audio text of the Letteris version to the digital text of the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia available in Accordance Bible Software.
