I ask this with some apprehension, as I am only half way chapter 5.

Here are some of the problems I am experiencing:
- I suddenly realized I don’t speak a word of English, none!
- Everytime I feel like reading, I swallow a mouthful of milk or chocolate milk to get me going-oops!
- I live in a city, which means that a very deaf, very 70-year old neighbour of what seems Chinese origin must broadcast what seem the speeches of chairman Mao till deep in the night.
- I live in a city, which means that pizza delivery boys race their mopeds across town, but mainly through my street, at all manner of hours.
- The cat excercises its freedom of speech, right near the end of a complex, 500 word sentence.
- Ah yes, the verbious, cascade-like locquacity of the well-educated, well-groomed literate man of the end of the nineteenth century, convinced, as some of them were, although others-one need only to think of that marvelous North-American master of wily wit, Mark Twain-, disapproved of the practice, that a sentence… where was I going with this?
- The author is either a facetious git, or has a really twisted sense of humour. Either way, of half the sentences I have no idea what he is trying to say, and thus no idea how to approach them.

Yours trudgingonningly,

I notice that other files are 25 MB or less, but my 55 minute recording is somewhere in the vincinity of 50 MB. Do you save at a lower sampling frequency, bit depth, bit rate?</p> One more question.
