Almost done with part 1! Update: 6:43:16! Woo! Update: 7:07:32 didn’t listen much today Update: Chapter 30! Almost done with part one, 18 more minutes, I’m guessing one more chapter? Anyways, I’ve kind of been multitasking while listening so... oops I guess? I guess I understand the basics and the setting of this story so that’s good enough. Plus, I’m not reading this for school so it’s all good. I think. Aah. :0 Update again: 2 more minutes! I’m kind of just writing this while listening so that’s why it’s so long.

Just thought I would say Mr Peter Keeble, this is an excellent reading of the Dickens classic :) Really enjoying it, its a toss up for me between this and Bleak House in the number one spot for Dickens best work! I particularly like your Mr Pumblechook...that tone is exactly what I would have envisaged for the character...and as he's so comparatively minor he rarely gets a look in, in most adaptations, but of course in his engineering of a place for Pip at Ms Haversham's he is vital to the plot of the story and Pip heaps such vitriol on him (deservedly) I always felt it a shame that I have seen so few adaptations where we get to hear Pips scorn of the pompous old poser! Your Ms Haversham is also pretty good too! Anyway, keep up the good work and thank you

Chapter I * My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip. I give Pirrip as my father's family name, on the authority of his tombstone and my sister,-Mrs. Joe Gargery, who married the blacksmith. As I never saw my father or my mother, and never saw any likeness of either of them (for their days were long before the days of photographs), my first fancies regarding what they were like were unreasonably derived from their tombstones. The shape of the letters on my father's, gave me an odd idea that he was a square, stout, dark man, with curly black hair. From the character and turn of the inscription, "Also Georgiana Wife of the Above," I drew a childish conclusion that my mother was freckled and sickly. To five little stone lozenges, each about a foot and a half long, which were arranged in a neat row beside their grave, and were sacred to the memory of five little brothers of mine,-who gave up trying to get a living, exceedingly early in that universal struggle,-I am indebted for a belief I religiously entertained that they had all been born on their backs with their hands in their trousers-pockets, and had never taken them out in this state of existence. Ours was the marsh country, down by the river, within, as the river wound, twenty miles of the sea. My first most vivid and broad impression of the identity of things seems to me to have been gained on a memorable raw afternoon towards evening. At such a time I found out for certain that this bleak place overgrown with nettles was the churchyard; and that Philip Pirrip, late of this parish, and also Georgiana wife of the above, were dead and buried; and that Alexander, Bartholomew, Abraham, Tobias, and Roger, infant children of the aforesaid, were also dead and buried; and that the dark flat wilderness beyond the churchyard, intersected with dikes and mounds and gates, with scattered cattle feeding on it, was the marshes; and that the low leaden line beyond was the river; and that the distant savagelair from which the wind was rushing was the sea; and that the small bundle of shivers growing afraid of it all and beginning to cry, was Pip. "Hold your noise!" cried a terrible voice, as a man started up from among the graves at the side of the church porch. "Keep still, you little devil, or I'll cut your throat!" A fearful man, all in coarse gray, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, and with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head.

@@matthewjenkins8013 I love being able to read and listen at the same time. My eyes don't have to work quite so hard but i can see the words that might not be entirely intelligible to my aging ears. For example when they were in the park and Pip wondered who had shot all those horses. And then he said he wished Joe could have done it. And I'm thinking "WHAT?!!! Why would he want Joe to shoot horses?" And then I thought, "Oh yeah. Joe is a blacksmith. He shoes horses. He would have SHOD the horses." It would have been much more efficient if I could could just have seen the word from the start.
