Mike Malloy's serialized reading of Orwell's 1984 - how much did he read?

Last night Mike Malloy read a listener email asking if Malloy's serialized reading of George Orwell's "1984" was available. Malloy said that only Ben Burch of White Rose Society has those archives and revealed that the music he plays during bumpers and WRS breaks is from mini discs. Yep that's how old school he is. Anyway I searched DU for info about the 1984 reading and found this directory listing of 17 files around 10 minutes each. These 17 files apparently cover the first fourth of "1984", as my search in Google books of the ending of the 17th file reached p. 96 of this ~400 page version.

My search of the DU archives shows that Malloy started serializing "1984" on air from late Jan. 2006 (maybe Jan. 19)? The full archive of Malloy shows pre-March 2009 is here http://www.whiterosesociety.org/content/malloy/?C=M;O=A

the file names are formatted in day-month-year format. I hope we truthseekers can uncover all of however much of "1984" that Malloy read on air.

I know he did the whole thing and I'm sure someone here will find it for you. It was pretty great. I think he could've put it out as a cd and sold it.
