Since I haven't heard back from Philip, section 73 has been switched to Jim now. Thanks !

Sonia

Yes, I hope he's ok. Last we heard, I think, he was having some sort of medical procedure done. He expected to be back before now.

and thank you for two more interesting sections. I especially liked the very emotional ending of section 60, where they are praying in the desert. You conveyed it very life-like.

Section 60 is already PL ok.

In section 61, Athman's over-the-top happiness at returning to the oasis was really very funny.

I have a few PL notes here:

> could use a round of noise cleaning

> at 2:09: p. 349: stumble and repeat: ""Imagine to yourself" - you first say "I imagine to myself", this can be cut out

> at 4:07: p. 350: "he groped in the hood of his burnous - you say "she"

> at 8:10: p. 352: stumble and repeat "possession of his hand"

that's all, the rest is fine. Thanks

wow you are lightning-fast and even though the section was so long. And it's totally PL ok. Thank you so much.

I thought the author was invading the people's privacy a bit too rudely in the beginning, by dragging out the women against their will. But luckily he really meant them no harm. Interesting article.

Sonia

[neecheelok70]

Yeah, I felt that too about the women. But he is white and male so he can do whatever he wants. The dwarf lifestyle brought into focus the difference between hunter and gatherer living and agricultural. Have you read Ishmael, the novel; he makes much of the difference, preferring the former. I taught it a few times. Thanks for accepting a rather ragged rendition. Jim

ah no I haven't read or heard of that novel yet. Who wrote it ? Probably not PD yet....

Sonia

[neecheelok70]

Yeah, too recent for PD. The author is Daniel Quinn. It's provocative. Jim

Thanks for letting me finish this. I wanted to do this chapter in particular because one of my French ancestors almost went to work on the Suez Canal, but was instead drafted for the Franco-Prussian War. So it's always kind of interested me.

oh wow, highly interesting family history there.

And thanks for the excellent patching, now totally PL ok. See you over in Book 4 later

And now we only need Farnood's sections before this can get archived. Yay.

thanks for these, Farnood !!!! Will try to PL them right away. Stay tuned for any last minute corrections, so we can get this project archived soon

Sonia

[Kitty]

54, 57 and 61 are already Spot PL ok. I was still a bit disturbed by the humming noise, so I quickly did one round of noise-cleaning myself and now the sound is clearer

Now on to the two last sections... stay tuned

Sonia

[Kitty]

Section 80 is also PL ok . I only did one round of noise-cleaning, since there were no textual errors, I figured I don't have to bother you with that

This is the 100th PL ok section we're almost there

BTW you made the sound of whooshing bullets quite life-like excellently done !

Sonia

[Kitty]

And Section 84 is PL ok as well. Thank you so much, Farnood, for taking extra care not to include any textual error that way, we can finally archive the project today !!!! Once again, I did a bit of noise-cleaning, but the reading was excellent ! I found the scene very funny where Abraham had to bend over and try to keep sitting in the saddle at the same time
