Absolutely delightful. I can't wait to get back to the States at the end of semester to pick up a copy of the book. This recording will be accompanying me on my iPod on busses and trains all across England.

By the by, I noticed you having a little trouble with hangups on page turns and the microphone recording the paper rustling. Just as a suggestion, when I was dabbling in podcasting this past summer my techie friend and I hooked up two laptops, one with the text cued up in a word document and the microphone attached to the screen, and another a little ways away where the microphone's cord hooked up to record. Said techie friend also actively marked spots on the track where we'd need to edit in a little sparkle (read: Cut out hangups, stammering, and said techie cracking his knuckles). Also, to avoid the microphone picking up weird clicking noises as a scrolled, we hooked up a wireless mouse so I could hold it however I wanted (even in mid-air) and scroll using the roller in the middle. This arrangement worked really well at cutting out background noise, though we also made a makeshift sound studio in the old boiler room in the basement so we wouldn't have to deal with other household noises.

Oh, you have no idea how much I was hoping you'd post this. No idea whatsoever. I was a little surprised, but Mildmay sounds like a couple of my American professors (except, of course, they swear less). I think now I might be able to survive until the semester's end--unless my classmates get sick of my fangirling and decide to string me up on the front gate.
