Hi Samuel R. Delany Fans,
If you follow my threads you see I'm very much into consuming content in written and audio formats. I like to read a chapter and then listen to one in the car or the gym. This allows me to get thru books faster then just reading them when time permits. That said, today's 2nd book is Stars in My Pocket Like Grains of Sand by Samuel R. Delany. I picked up a legal copy to listen to thru a library site. This a great source to listen to an audiobook free, but a pain in @ss given that it of large streaming files and they aren't broken down into chapters. Audible lets you jump to each chapter beginning, but this isn't always possible from other streaming sites.
To that end, I've created a summary list of chapters and rough lengths. If you do the audiobook thing to listen to it, you'll need to figure out which chapter you are on and do the math to add up all the previous chapters to get to the one you want. Here is the list in text format in case you want to copy it into excel and have it do the math for you. Also you'll find a JPG file on the bottom here to be able to download the list as an image if that helps. Times might be slightly different by a second or two....but it will get your there fast.
Special Note: Chapters have multiple sub-chapters, which are outlined below. Example: Chapter 6, section 2 which is 6.2
Happy Listening
