PL for section 3

6:08 min missing text: throughout the history of the Gothic novel; and is by no means extinct even today, though subtler technique now forces it to assume a less naive and obvious form.

If you want me not to report missing text, please say so.
Reading the text is not required with standard PL, but I do it so I don't get lost.

Here's the corrected version: http://ge.tt/8Ql8rdG/v/0
If you are already reading along while PLing for the sake of greater clarity, it would be great if you could keep on informing me about any missing/distorted text, especially if it changes the meaning of the fragment.
I guess it's rather hard to follow the text this complex without reading along. There are so many digressions and embedded phrases that I sometimes hardly know how to read it to make it sound clear

Your reading is very clear. Reading the text along helps me concentrate.
My thoughts like to wander around when I listen with nothing to do with my hands.

Section 3 spot checked - PL OK

Here's section 4 http://ge.tt/9RVwjeG/v/0 Duration 11:44
I again forgot to put the number of the chapter in the track title field in the ID3 tags.

Section 4 PL OK

Thanks.
A question: section 5 includes many names of writers, some of which have been abbreviated. Some of them are obvious, such as "A. Conan Doyle", others I can look up in Wikipedia. I was thinking of reading them all in full, it may serve as some kind of guide for weird literature readers. Do you think it would be OK, or should stick with the abbreviated forms?

EDIT: Nevermind. I'll leave them as they are.

Section 5 http://ge.tt/7sbyjfG/v/0 Duration 18:15

This one is a real mine of names and titles

I changed text in two places because I found mistakes there. First of all the Shelley's novel mentioned at the beginning is called "Zastrozzi", and not "Zastro". Secondly, Vathek's mother is a sorceress, and not a soweress. I checked both cases against the version available on Wikisources.

The next chapter is going to be particularly interesteing to you, because it focuses on German and French authors

Section 5 PL OK

Correcting mistakes is fine.

I've already pre-read section 6. Couldn't wait ...

Section 6 http://ge.tt/58VrCiG/v/0 Duration: 13:59


I hope I haven't butchered the German and the French names and titles beyond recognition.

Section 6 PL OK
The German names, and as far as I can tell the French names are not butchered at all. Excellent!

Here's chapter 7 on Edgar Allan Poe http://ge.tt/2l2BnoG/v/0 duration: 16:15

It contains some of the longest, most complex and flowery sentences I've found in this book so far

I wonder what HPL would have said if he had had a chance to read something by Stefan Grabiński, an inter-war Polish weird fiction writer who drew inspiration from Poe.

Section 7 PL OK.

Sektion 9 PL OK

I skipped chapter 8 for the time being because it was giving me much trouble, and decided to go on to chapter 10. It's the longest one (6200 words) so I decided to split it into two. Could you give me one more section in the MW?

Also, I'm going to make a list of the authors and works mentioned by Lovecraft and see which of these havenn't been read yet for LV. Of course, I'm also going to check which ones would be OK for Legamus to record That will certainly add something to our pool of eligible works.

It's a good idea to divide chapter 10, I think. With non-fiction short sections are much more comfortable.
No need to "give" another section, just use the next line in the table and name it track 11, section 11 - The Modern Masters 2

I had a look at chapter 8. At least one word in each sentence I don't know, let alone know how to pronounce.
Maybe we can win a native speaker for it?

A list of all the authors and books is a good idea but I think you will find many names already in the LV catalog.
In the section about German authors there was one that interested me much, but not yet pd.

I can read section 8 all right, I just need more time. I know the meaning of the words used, it's the flow of the overlong sentences that I have problem with.

Since I'm hoping to be able to record section 10 pretty quickly, I just have to ask about this "soon to come" thing in the outro. I'm not sure if I understand it. Am I supposed to just say "soon to come" and leave it at that? Sounds a bit strange to me...
