Notes:
In this reading by bpNichol, he draws primarily from his work on the Martyrology. He also notably discusses the project as finished, which for years it was, until he began it again and added on an additional 4 books. The audio in the first three minutes is of lower quality than the rest of the tape to follow. Much of the tape is Nichol answering to questions from the group.
