  1. EPISODE 195

    Mrs. Dalloway - Author and Novel Introduction

    Mrs. Dalloway By Virginia Woolf, 1925 Mrs. Dalloway is considered the 32nd greatest book of all time according to the website, The Greatest Books, which "represents a comprehensive and trusted collection of the greatest books. Developed through a specialized algorithm, it brings together 733 'best of' book lists to form a definitive guide to the world's most acclaimed books." Virginia Woolf is considered the 5th greatest author of all time according to the website, The Greatest Books: "We've analyzed 733 diverse book lists to create this comprehensive ranking of literary masters. Our algorithm considers several key factors to determine each author's position: Book Rankings: Each author's score starts with the sum of their books' rankings from our master list. Number of Great Books: Authors are rewarded for having multiple highly-ranked books. The more great books an author has, the higher their overall score. Age of Books: Older books receive a small bonus to their score, with the maximum bonus going to books over 100 years old. This system ensures that authors with multiple enduring works are recognized, while still giving weight to the quality of individual books. The rankings are automatically calculated and updated as new lists are added to our database."

  3. EPISODE 197

    Mrs. Dalloway, Part 2

    Part 2 of 18 By Virginia Woolf, 1925 A quick note on my presentation: "Mrs. Dalloway" contains no chapters and no divisions of any substantive kind. The novel starts and then continues until it ends. There are a couple of instances when there is a wider paragraph break with a line separating parts, but these occur infrequently and can only be relied upon here and there for stopping/starting points of these recorded parts. Consequently, I've done my best to come up with what seem (to me) to be reasonable starting and stopping points for my episodes, trying to keep the flow of the story uppermost in my consideration, while also producing episodes of reasonable lengths. My hope is that the eighteen episodes I project to be necessary to complete the novel will be the most comfortable format for all of us. We'll see how it goes! Cheers! Scott

    Mrs. Dalloway, Part 6

    Part 6 of 18 By Virginia Woolf, 1925 My apologies about this episode being out of order (for PodBean listeners only - I was able to figure out a workaround to place the episode in it's proper location for Apple Podcast listeners. Presumably this is also the case for Spotify, but I haven't checked it). As I am my own editor, engineer and tech guy, and my skills are mid at best, I'm afraid that this is where this episode will now live (in PodBean, anyway). Again, sorry about the inconvenience and any confusion that may result. As always, thanks for listening and here's to no further glitches! Cheers! Scott G.
