Thank you, Betty! Razor-sharp humour by an alien, an Englishman in New York!

Hello Rafael!

Thank you for your offering! Is this your first recording? It's absolutely amazing in sound quality and everything! Well done!

Well, thank you very much, Rapunzelina. I'm so glad you liked it. I have some experience as an amateur radio announcer and I tried to do as well as I could.
Now I intend to do the whole book as a solo project.

Greetings from Barcelona!

Thank you, Czandra! PL OK in the Magic Window!

If you prefer to use the French intro, you're welcome to change it!

Here's another, Rapunzelina, though I'm probably not going to read the whole work, as it involves at least four different character voices.

My first recording had the book title slightly wrong, so I edited and re-uploaded. Please could you delete this file from your folder:

Thank you, Peter! This is now in the Magic Window marked PL OK!
Not surprising for a farrago to have lots of different character voices

[Peter Why]

Thanks, Rapunzelina;
It's a very interesting book, with the author thinking through four different personalities. I wouldn't be able to do it justice.

I suppose it could make a good DR, but you'd need quite sensitive readers.

Reader's name: Rafael Ferran i Peralta

I see that there is an abandoned project of this audiobook in the Librivox catalog. Maybe after the summer I'll be brave and adopt him myself. It's a great book and I really like it

Thank you!

[Rapunzelina]

Thank you, Bernd and Rafael! Sorry for the wait; Magic Window finally updated with PL OKs!
