This is space monkey checking in.
I'm three hours off finishing my second pass. I've gotten to the point of listening to entire paragraphs without the book now and while there are plenty of individual words I don't recognize I can generally get the gist of what is being said. So that is 29 hours and I'm already at a listening comprehension level well beyond what I expected; having said that knowing Spanish has helped me a great deal. I wouldn't have progressed as fast without it.

I received my second audiobook in the post last week called 'people of the book'. It is 14.5 hours long. I think instead of doing a third pass with my current book I may start with my new book. The main reason behind this is that as I mentioned earlier 'When Nietzsche wept' is written in a different tense than the book whereas the 'people of the book' audio and book are in the same tense. This should make things easier. I'll do 2 or 3 passes of this book.

Apologies in advance for the obvious touting but the little lady and I are selling everything we own for when we go travelling so I'm happy to sell the audiobooks on ebay if anyone fancies them. I've already copied them to my mp3 player so I don't need the CD anymore.

PM me if you're interested.
