Thanks for catching that, Rapunzelina; I've edited and re-uploaded https://librivox.org/uploads/rapunzelina/fcc012_icknieldway_thomas_py_128kb.mp3 (51.32) I felt his comment "out of the reach of letters" the same way. I have a book of haiku by the zen monk Santoka Taneda (dead for some yea...

Thanks, Laura; I've edited and re-uploaded section 4. It's interesting how uncomfortable the word "idiot" is in this text. These days, "idiot" has the connotation of "intentionally stupid" ... I think in Victorian times it was simply a non-emotive label for what some pe...

Sandy, I've PM'd you about the noise reduction.

Thank you, Laura; I've uploaded section four.

I found it, in the 1980 volume of Literature....

I'll PM it to Rapunzelina.

Lukessa, you posted in the Need Help forum about the aircraft noise, and I had a go at cleaning it. Have you listened to the file I uploaded? I do think it cleaned up quite well, and you could apply the same method yourself.

Peter

That's extremely strange; I wouldn't know how to get that effect without doing some research! Edited and re-uploaded .... again.

Chapter 2 edited and re-uploaded.

Yes, it's a side of the world which almost certainly still exists in places, and which we know nothing about.

Peter

Thanks, Laura; after finishing chapter two, I think I'll stick to my original plan, just splitting chapter three.

Chapter two has been uploaded.

Peter

Laura, do you think I should avoid longer sections, and go for around 30 minutes? It doesn't take much more work to do, and I think that half-hour pieces will be easier to listen to. As it is, the second chapter feels quite long, so I'm going to get it all recorded and edited before deciding on spli...
