Thank you, Joanna. I find this truly compelling reading.

Chapter 12 is PL OK.

Oh good!

I appreciate your taking the time to listen, and I'm glad you're finding it satisfying. I'm enjoying the chance to read it again--some parts hit me differently after all these years. (As I read aloud I do find myself wishing I had both a bass voice and a Russian accent, but...eh, we do what we can.) Here's Chapter 13 up.

Thank you again! Here's chapter 14: https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/whatshallwedo_14_tolstoy_128kb.mp3
Happy Sunday! (I imagine it will be that by the time you see this...)

Hi, Joanna.

Just one thing: at around 3:42 the word "try" sounds a bit unclear. ( ...we will try to find...)

Other than that, everything's fine.

Thanks! Will fix and repost tomorrow along with the new chapter.

Perfect! Chapter 14 is now PL OK.

Hi, Joanna.

There are just two details in Chapter 15. (Both are beginnings of paragraphs)

At 9:44 "This conclusion" sounds a bit unclear. Same thing for 10:57 " And indeed".

Just that, and this will be another great chapter.

Have a great week!

I've reuploaded Chapter 15, replacing the sentence that runs from 9:44 to 9:58 and the one that runs from 10:59 to 11:03. https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/whatshallwedo_15_tolstoy_128kb.mp3 I'll try and read a bit more slowly when I do Chapter 16. Thanks again. Have a good week!

Chapter 15 is now PL OK.

Thank you again!

Here's Chapter 16, which I tried to take at a more deliberate pace. https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/whatshallwedo_16_tolstoy_128kb.mp3

Chapter 16 is PL OK.

It's a pleasure to listen to Tolstoy!

Thank you again!

Chapter 17 is up.
https://librivox.org/uploads/maryannspiegel/whatshallwedo_17_tolstoy_128kb.mp3 I had more trouble with volume, timing, and background noise than usual in this chapter and I'm not sure if the final file sounds over-processed; I'm quite willing to redo, if it is.
