This is a very brief note to say that I'll be offline for a few days - I'm hoping about a week - from Monday. Please do carry on uploading if you've any sections, just know that it'll be a little while before I can PL.

Section 29 is PL OK. That's excellent news. I hope you and yours stay healthy or get healthier. I also filled some of my newfound extra time with exercise and quite enjoyed it. Clearly I enjoyed it too much, as I'm now in physiotherapy, but I'm very lucky to have access to a number of sessions (we'r...

Section 28 is PL OK.

I hope you're as well as can be hoped at the moment.

Section 27 is PL OK.

Thank you for the notice about some of the errors that have slipped into the text.

Section 26 is PL OK. Ah, you're reading on a Kindle. I haven't used one of those. My e-reader really belongs in the Smithsonian, as it's never been online. A dictionary feature would be quite useful, though. I've come to the same conclusion regarding copyright and translators. I know it's odd to be ...

Sections 24 and 25 are PL OK. I looked up floccinaucinihilipilification (and ciborium, and a few other words that have appeared in the notes). As with so many of the words that Moncrieff is using I think they're remarkable and want to retain and reproduce them all, but am likely to have forgotten th...

One note for section 24: 32.50-32.58 … she lowered towards my grandmother her whole life contained in her face as in a ciborium which she extended over her https://www.lexico.com/definition/ciborium I must ask, what was the module? Tell me more, about the essay, your uni or your course of study, if ...

Sections 22 and 23 are spot PL OK. Not to worry. I think we all have words that catch us out. More to the point, at least with this translation, is the extensive vocabulary. The diction is delightful and varied, but many of these words simply wouldn't be used regularly and consequently would be less...

I've a couple of notes. The notes for section 22 don't involve rerecording, and the pronunciation note for section 23 is at your discretion. Are you interested in reading a biography of Breton now that you've finished this one of Proust? He seems to merit a biography of a similar length if only to g...

Thanks for letting me know. Moving is a quite an upheaval, so good luck with all that goes with it! This will be here for whenever you're able to resume, no worries.

Section 20 is spot PL OK and section 21 is PL OK. That's a lovely glimpse in Proust's life. Friendships that seem superficially unlikely so frequently are productive, and I wasn't aware of this meeting of creative minds. Does the biography you're reading contain any images of Proust's handwriting? I...

Section 19 is spot PL OK. For section 20: 13.46-13.51 …before I saw him, to hear the rustling of the elves and the dance of the kob-olds… https://www.lexico.com/definition/kobold 14.48-15.09, alternate takes "Gracious! I must fly at once if I'm to get to Mme. De Saint-Ferréol's, and I'm dining ...

Section 7 is PL OK.

I'm not sure if you were thinking of uploading the pdf at some future date, but a couple of pages were omitted at the end of the chapter. It's not a big deal, but I thought I'd mention it.

Section 6 is PL OK.

Section 5 is PL OK. It feels like gossip, hearing about Stoddart and Lippincott at that dinner party more than 130 years ago, but I like it even if it is.

One note for section 4:

5.31, top p. 46, section ‘2’ omitted

Two notes for section 19 - one pronunciation and one change of tense that I think shifts the meaning a bit. 6.09-6.18 …not that he was not himself in the habit of making scathing references to his Jewish origin, to that side of his ancestry which came from somewhere near Sinai. https://www.lexico.co...

Section 3 is spot PL OK. I'm not moving very quickly, but I am enjoying this. The next section has a pretty good title, too.

Section 2 is spot PL OK. There are four notes for section 3: 23.24-23.31, p. 39, penultimate para of sect 4, omission Sarony took him first in his seal-skin cap, [then bareheaded in his long trousers,] then bareheaded in his knee breeches. 24.00, p. 39, section ‘5’ omitted 32.55-33.03, start second ...

I'm not sure what was going on with LV earlier when I couldn't access it, other than that it was having one of its periodic funny fits, but it's meant that I've PLed another chapter. The background on this is really nice - it'll be good for listeners who aren't steeped in Ruskin, the Pre-Raphaelites...
