Hi Sue,
Thank you so much for listening to the audio. Its been a much-awaited step for me in this journey. Thank you for your kind words. And in connection with Burroughs, I guess we can view reading here also in the same light. I shall definitely keep in mind the mistake in naming the file and shall follow suit.
About the blurb for Kari the Elephant, I will change it and write on my own.

As to the catalog name, I would like to keep my forum name itself - i.e., Mahimaraj

Thank you once again for your help and encouraging words. :)

Hi Craig, Thanks for another of your thoughtful selections from the work of major philosophers! :D "Gottfried Wilhelm (von) Leibniz (1646-1716)...was one of the greatest representatives of 17th century rationalism and idealism."
Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Wilhelm_Leibniz

"So it being once posited that being is better than not being ... it follows, that, even if nothing further is determined, the quantity of existence must be as great as possible, regard being had to the capacity of the time and of the place... From this it is now marvelously understood how in the very origin of things a sort of divine mathematics or metaphysical mechanics was employed..."

Leibniz, 1697

PL OK! :thumbs:

How come this is almost full after 10 days? :shock:

Could I reserve one spot please? It looks like a sunny day, so I can probably record something tonight.
Thank you.
Cheers, Ava.

Hi Everybody,

Somehow I think that that, right now, there's a bit of "metaphysical mechanics" at work at the SNF, (concept taken from Leibniz --Craig's selection #16--) It seems to me that, even though hailing from distant parts of the globe, you readers have somehow coalesced around a goal, the goal being to make this the fastest volume ever of the SNF to fill up all 20 slots... :lol:

Well... well... If so... I'll join in the fun, and temporarily suspend the two-selections per person rule, opening slot #20 to whoever sends up the first recording.

Everybody should be pleased to know that volume 085, just cataloged on September 15th, already has had 27,123 views, according to the statistics on archive.org. Nice going! :thumbs:

Hi TommyMer,

Thank you for this additional contribution to vol. 086! :D

Willa Cather's criticism of the "journalistic" novel is certainly pungent!

"Writing ought either to be the manufacture of stories for which there is a market demand--a business as safe and commendable as making soap or breakfast foods--or it should be an art, which is always a search for something for which there is no market demand, something new and untried, where the values are intrinsic and have nothing to do with standardized values."
Willa Cather

I'm not sure who Cather has in her sights when she blasts the writers of "twenty years ago" whose output, to her, looks "journalistic and thin." Could you enlighten me with some names?

Hi Betty,

Thank you for this description of the elaborate wedding! :D I wonder what the purpose of the harsh remarks being flung at the bride were all about. Loomis Todd says their intent was "best of form and particularly salutary;" but I can't imagine the bride enjoyed the hazing.

PL OK! :thumbs:

Hi Availle, Thanks for this biography of the pioneering journalist Elizabeth Cochrane (Nellie Bly)! :D She was certainly one gutsy woman!

PL OK! :thumbs:
