Here is my recording of the 2nd half of Canto 2 of Byron's Don Juan. If you like it, please do click the 'like' button; I'm told it's good for the algorithm (as well as for my own ego...). The 1st half of the Canto (as well as the 1st Canto) can be found on the same page. youtu.be/MHHi7NLGmeI?...

The Devil in Dorsoduro, Arnold Clover 4, just hit 1,038 ratings on Amazon, beating my previous highest there, the adaptation of the TV series The Killing. Many thanks to everyone who hit the ratings button. It makes a real difference in terms of the support the book gets there. amzn.eu/d/0jiqSUhu
