PL Notes Section 5, Wealth and its Uses Gracious me what a long chapter. My apologies for not breaking it down into two parts, Tina, but you did a great job of keeping it interesting, and Carnegie had a lot of interesting stuff to say. (The more I go along the less I enjoy doing sections over 30 mi...

Hello, Yuqing, I realized that I didn't do the character 安公子 consistently. I suppose that's an disadvantage of not reading the story completely first! But, it just feels more interesting to get into the story as I read it out aloud. Anyway, if you don't mind, I'm combing through one section at a ti...

PL Notes Section 4 Only 2 small errors, both mispronouncing proper names: 8:52 "Babbit, for Babbit's metal", I hear Bam-bit , both times. 13:50 Hamilton, I hear Ha- mule -ton. All else very well read! An interesting chapter, and nice listen. What, not even an occasional beer? Michele, I've uploaded...

Hello,

Could I please claim Section 4 and 5? Thanks.

Tding, I am impressed by your fault-free reading of this tough, tough, tough, tough, tough section. At 12:40 I heard "...they will <garbled sound> be biassed..." s/b "...they will INEVITABLY be biassed..." But, when I put my headphones on and listened, the correct word was clearly there, so.....
