I don't know if this is enough of an error to be worth reporting, but I thought I would mention it just in case. The reader does a great job and the book is very enjoyable to listen to. In section 12, Under The Knife, at 28:40 a paragraph begins "Presently it dawned upon me that my sense of duration had changed....." and the same paragraph is repeated immediately afterward starting at 29:17. I'll put in a link to the book below:

Thanks for spotting that; I've deleted the duplicated paragraph from my saved flac file and generated a new mp3 for the chapter.

Admin query: where should I upload the file to, please?

I finished listening to the book today and enjoyed it throughout. It was well written and well read, which is a great combination. I noticed one spot where the words "So you say" had been replaced with a sound like a finger snap at 42:20 in section 21, The Man Who Could Work Miracles. It's a very small omission, but I figured I would mention it since you were already planning an alteration. Thank you for putting this book into the catalog, it is a valuable addition.

You can upload this (and the new section 21) to my folder, and I'll take care of it. :)

These are being replaced right now. The M4B will need to be redone.
