The worst of novels, the best of novels, it is being read aloud here:

I'm messing around with sound links - half of which I don't understand. Can actually anyone access me reading the beginning of 'The Hawler' here?

In the end, Des, but I had to wait for thirty seconds before I could download it.

Thanks, Mick. Good to hear you can access it. But it's a shame about the thirty seconds. I paid them a premium assuming (wrongly) that others as well as myself could avoid the thirty seconds. :-(

I enquired the position and they replied:

"In the next couple of days we are launching FileFactory TrafficShare which will be a setting in your account to allow others to download your files with Premium benefits. Your daily download allowance would be 12GB a day."

A bit of a coincidence?

I'm halfway through doing this!
It's making more sense this time round!


This is a raw reading aloud. I've not re-read it since 2005. If there is surprise in my reading voice, that's because I am surprised. I think this is the authentic way to read it aloud, even if it does result in a few stumbles as I go through. Please tell me what you think.

I'm now pleased to report the links to each chapter are now speedy ones! Please try them. Any feedback technically (as well as artistically!) will be welcome. This is a sort of novel that's been percolating for far too long. Bit it does sort of change with each passing moment even if the words themselves don't chnage. :-)
