Book 3 of Remembrance of Things Past. Marcel enters high society....
(Summary by ...

The classic novel of a woman-loving man trapped in a woman's body has been suggested on LibriVox. Hall died in 1943.

When I click on download from that page it plays the section but I don't think it downloads. Maybe I'm just being stupid but I can't find a new file on my computer that I can move to my MP3 player.

Do we have any figures as to how many downloads there have been from Legamus?

So far as I can work out, we can either play Legamus files on our computers or download a whole book as a zip file and then open it. Is there a way to download chapters/sections rather than a whole book so that they can be listened to on a MP3 player? The book I recorded is nearly 27 hours long ...

It's not PD in the United Kingdom but is PD in the rest of Europe.

The King James translation of the Bible (also known as the KJV, the Authorised Version or the AV), and the Book of Common Prayer, are under Royal Prerogative in the United Kingdom. This is not technically the same as copyright but works in much the same way. It means that, while they are public ...

I love it! It looks really good. Thank you.

Thank you very much for all your hard work and I'm sorry that my volumes were so variable.
I like the cover but can we change the text so it reads:

Within a Budding Grove
By Marcel Proust
Read by Andrew Coleman

? Sorry to be conceited and want my name included but it's my first ever solo so it's ...

I've just prooflistened to the 50.07 version of Section 5. I'm so glad I'm now using a "pop" shield, that old recording was full of pops that I'd not been able to edit out but, despite that, it seems PL OK to me.

I've reuploaded the copy of 5 I have, which is at: http://ge.tt/8FJDWDy1/v/0
This is 50.07 mins and 45.8 MB. I haven't yet prooflistened.

...and I'm looking forward to hearing Virgil and Corvo, Martin. Thank you for all the proof-reading you've done for me. I reckon I owe you a madeleine cake!

I don't know how the cover image is created. I was wondering about a Monet seascape/seashore scene. I've found The Boardwalk at Trouville on ...

I listened to Neville Jason's abridged recordings as they were released, about 20 years ago, and thought those two books were a dull slog, but I read those volumes (Penguin translation) soon after my ex-fiancee had died suddenly and a mutual friend had told me that my late ex had once made a pass at ...

Hi Andrew,

so Within a Budding Grove is your first ever solo recording? Wow!

I had recorded substantial chunks of other books, including the Combray section of Swann's Way so I had some idea of what I was taking on, although I learnt some basic Audacity stuff I didn't know while I was recording ...

Thank you for PLing, Martin. Hope the blooming Godalming girls didn't distract you too much from the blooming girls of Balbec! I keep looking on the train to see if there is a person who looks like your voice but all of my suspects get off or on at the wrong stops.

Anyway, it's starting to feel as ...

Thanks Viktor.

Has ge.tt stopped operating? I can't get it to open and when I look for ge.tt related websites they are all listed as "Cached" which I think means that they no longer function.

I was given a microphone pop screen for my birthday. I haven't tried it yet but hope that it works and that after this section there will be fewer pops to deal with or ignore.
