Re: solo (ENGLISH) Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell - vik

Section 25 is PL OK. Hearty congratulations!

If you want this catalogued quickly you might want to PM Viktor to let him know it's ready.

Re: solo (ENGLISH) Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell - vik

Section 24 is PL OK. I don't know what was going on with the uploading process, but I was able to download it without any trouble. You're right, George Sand could do with some attention. If you'd like me to PL, put me down for that in the project thread and let me know that it's launched. At the ver...

Do you have another book in mind for your next project?

Re: solo (ENGLISH) Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell - vik

Ha, I could have worded that better. I know the worst is yet to come! In spite of it being over 8.5 hours, it feels as if it's been perhaps 3 at most.

Sections 21 and 22 are PL OK.

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Autobiography of Lord Alfred Douglas - vik

Rob - just querying very quickly that the first sentence hasn't perhaps omitted a word:
...after the death of his [?] Oscar Wilde.

It makes sense as it is, so do ignore if that's not helpful!

Re: solo (ENGLISH) Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell - vik

Section 20 is PL OK. If it doesn't sound too perverse to say so after the last chapter, I have really been enjoying this. A general note: this pronunciation apparently shifts only when it’s lunatically, rather than lunatic https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/lunatic https://howjsay.c...

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Autobiography of Lord Alfred Douglas - vik

No problem at all. I was asking in case you did have something up your sleeve you intended to launch shortly. I tend to respond to notifications rather than browsing the forum and can easily be late to the party, as I was with this project. Good luck with whatever you've got on and any Wildean books...

Re: solo [ENGLISH] The Autobiography of Lord Alfred Douglas - vik

Sections 45, 46 and 47 are spot PL OK. This is ready to be catalogued. Congratulations! I confess not to knowing how many friends Douglas retained by the end of his life, but it seems like he stayed busy burning bridges. What a wild ride this has been. Do you have any later texts by him for Legamus,...

Re: solo (ENGLISH) Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell - vik

Sections 17 and 18 are PL OK. Sorry to keep you waiting for a PL! It's easy for me to say because I wasn't recording it, but that didn't feel like a longer chapter at all.
