Thanks so much for your enthusiasm, Laura! I jiggled that one line and put it into the magic window. Hoping to have section 2 for you in the next day or so. Thanks, again, everybody! Super! Perfect edit there, so I'll go mark that PL OK in the magic window. I'm looking forward to the next installme...

PL checking in

That's because you are such a good reader!!! For me, I've discovered that I really like BCing these folktale anthologies! I prefer prooflistening to reading myself, and it's just so fun to introduce people to stories that are new to them and (hopefully) fun. Plus I know that there is just no way tha...

Oh, I will enjoy more de Grandin! And from what I can tell the author's French is not all that great because de Grandin's French is seriously ridiculous ha ha, so I wouldn't worry about it; that's why I haven't suggested any editing of the French. YOU are now the voice of de Grandin, and he should b...

Whoo-hoo: 100% completed!!! Another job well done, and now I've gotten to know yet another famous-back-in-the-day literary character (de Grandin!) thanks to you. I'm still trying to wrap up that Tales of 1927; one of the readers got sick but she really wants to do her stories (and she is such a good...

WHOO-HOO: congratulations to you! All that big book read and recorded! Wow! There are just a few things to check here in Section 17 (and you have my notes from Section 18 from yesterday already): 1:06 to this great being (not: great king) 2:34 each individual being (not: king) 5:51 the doctrine of i...

Oh, super! I should be able to do this tonight! (my Sunday night here)

Wow, all these thoughts about Haman and Mordecai really are fascinating. Now that I know how he wraps things up, I will be even more interested to hear the missing bit in Section 17 (I'll listen to that as soon as you can get the intro added because I know you will be eager to finish everything up.....

I went to listen to Section 17, but it's missing the "Section 17 blah blah blah" intro... and since that would throw off all the rest of the timestamps when you add that in, I decided to just skip that section for now and move on to Section 18. After you add in the intro, I'll do the actua...

Argh, I felt kind of cheated by that last one: the whole Brazil-detour was just misdirection... he should have just focused it on India from the start. I wonder what made him do the Brazil thing? And it was so creepy about the pig at the end, though I suppose maybe de Grandin got the idea from all t...

Ooooh, halfway through the final story........ and the title is still a mystery, ha ha. (But got my attention!) I thought I would do the other half tonight but I'm just too sleepy, ha ha. So now I will probably end up having dreams about embalming or something: eeeeek! Anyway, all good on the Sectio...

Eeeeeek, long pigs! This is definitely not Captain Nemo making everything out of fish and seaweed! But the poor giant octopus got a bad rap here: he might eat a little shark, but he's not going to eat people. Section 5 edits all good, and there are just a few little things here in 6 to check on: 3:0...

Ooooh, this shipwrecked one is my favorite of the de Grandin stories so far; it kinds of reminds me of 20000 Leagues under the Sea! And the reading sounds great; in that first long part (Section 5), I noticed just 2 little things: 11:49 for my flailing legs (not: flagging) 25:16 this interment which...

Yay to end-of-allergies! I'm just checking in to say that the past week has been bonkers for me, but I should be able to get caught up on Wednesday and Thursday. I'm so curious to hear the new story!!!

Wow, this is going to be so intense to listen to! It was great to hear your voice again... but what a contrast to the fun storytelling in the Tales book. Of course, even though this is not a book of tales, there are so many stories *implied* in these pieces, and grim stories they are. Especially liv...
