Hi Shandon, here's an update for you
For now I'm planning to read shorter, lighter stories. I think Wolfen was both too long and dark for most listeners.
I hope this fits the bill.
For Monday, Nov 6th: this is one I read years ago
."The Hellbound Train"by Robert Bloch, est reading time 30 mins
A shiftless man son of a railroad man makes a bet with the devil with surprising results.

Below is a quick list you can read in SL.
BELOW IS A TEXT FORM OF THE 2022 =REVISED= CALENDAR
NOTE: the pictoral calendar is best viewed with a 3:4 ratio (not a 4:3)
January World Out of Time, A (Larry Niven) DONE
February When They Came (Kody Boye)
I've looked at January's story and realized the remaining four weeks won't be enough.
I'll pause it on the 31st and resume in March.
Other stories will get shifted to make room.
I'll revise my schedule and send to you and Shandon.
None of this will affect this or February's stories.
World Out of Time has just too much content to reduce to 4 weeks or even the 5 I'd originally planned.
March World Out of Time, A (Larry Niven) conclusion
April When They Saw (Kody Boye)
May Threshold (Janet and Chris Morris)
June Gripping Hand (Larry Niven)
July When They Fell (Kody Boye)
August Visitors, The (Clifford Simak)
September Cyber Way (Alan Dean Foster)
October They Walked Like Men (Clifford Simak)
November Visitors, The (Clifford Simak)
December story TBD

Hi Shandon, I've read ahead into "Wolfen." There seem to be four(4) story sessions required to reach the end. I plan to cut out enough text to require only two (2) Sessions to end the story on Oct 31st.
I will start a new story, "The Visitors*" by Clifford Simak on November 7th with plans to cut it so I will reach the conclusion by Dec 12th. Please let me know if ending Wolfen on Oct. 31st and Visitors on Dec 12th is workable.
*"Visitors" blurb:" gigantic feaureless black rectangles descend near the Earth's surface and calmly eat forests and excreting celluloselooking like bales of cotton. They seem to ignore humanity, benign, but aloof.
