Hi Jo, I have now added a description of this work to the opening posting for this topic (the description was previously marked 'TBA'). Can you please copy this description to the project page?

Will do, Peter. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks Jo.
Sorry to do this to you, but I can see now I omitted a colon in a critical place. Have amended first post in this topic, but project page should include the colon (originally missing) that appears in the following: "the kind of Joseph Conrad he would have liked to have been seen as: a man capable of wry humour and self-deprecation"

PL of sections 6 and 7 is fine.

I recently read Murakami's "What I talk about when I talk about running" which also includes how he came to write and his approach to writing and exercising. I enjoy Murakami's novels but had no idea that he's such a dedicated runner. He's incredibly systematic about these passions. It's interesting to now listen to Conrad's early stages in his writing career.

Looking forward to the final chapter!

Thanks very much for your help, Jo. All very easy and seamless.

I can see that 'someone' has provided a very nice CD cover, and I would like to thank whoever is responsible in the usual place. However, when I go to download the CD cover (the lower of the two art links on archive.org) I'm currently getting a message indicating that it's not available. Do you happen to know whether this is some kind of boo boo, or whether it's just a case of 'not available YET'?

Thanks very much Susanne. Managed to avoid the 'last section stumbles' again! Hope to have the next one launched within a few days. Will let you know just as soon as it's up and running.

That 'someone' was me. The mistake in the filename of the pdf would also be mine. It should be working now.

Sorry about that!

Hey, lucky me! Thanks so much. It's terrific, and totally appropriate.
