You are very kind, Christine! So glad you are drawn in by the narration, not the easiest book to journey through, though of course there are so many treasures along the way.

Take your time Christine! Note that the next three sections after 35 are likely to be a little shorter, I am not sure if this makes a huge difference to the PL work, but 'every little helps' as they say!

Dear Christine
Hope all is well with you!
Here is section 35 (23.32), and a bit of a crisis in young Hans Castorp's love life...

Very best

I found another correct take so the revision was very straightforward!

I am on the case!
Thx as always Christine

Dear Christine
Moving ever forward with section 34! (25.01) And yet more of Mynheer....

Thank you Christine as always! Onwards..... and as Peeperkorn would say, 'Very good. Very.... Settled!'

Dear Christine

Here is S33 - Mann in cerebral top gear - 26.01 minutes chasing the twists and turns of some pretty abstract syntax.

Hope it is not too arduous to listen to!

Thanks!

You are right, Christine, but I just hope I don't meet any of those other guests...

Thank you Christine - Phew again! - I have just finished this morning the raw recording of S33, another epic narration with Naphta, Settembrini and Peeperkorn all loudly on display and I suspect i shall need a place at a Swiss Sanatorium at the end of this journey!!!

Sections 31 and 32 duly re-uploaded and all is well (I hope!). On narrators of novels who offer asides directly to the reader about their storytelling there is no one better than Anthony Trollope who indulges in it usually for humorous purposes, though sometimes to excess!

I'm confusing myself with my different uploads (Mynheer Peeperkorn's psyche taking me over!). Should have it all sorted by tomorrow, plus adding the 'part one' to 32..... watch this space!! And thanks for bearing with me....
Best Steve

Dear Christine
I have revised section 31 and re-uploaded - and also here is Section 32 (24.45) and the continuing saga of Mynheer Peeperkorn (phew! - it lasts another fifty pages!)

Ah! Thank you Christine - I will make those adjustments, I start my recording these days at around 6.30am (to avoid traffic noise) which might just have something to do with that error!!

Hi Christine, her is section 31, and the finale of Peeperkorn's midnight festivities. (26.28)
