    Default So Many Books, So Little Time

    This is a project, type, thingamjigger. I'm not eve exactly sure what it is or how well this is going to work, especially since I already hate listening to my own voice. But the idea popped into my head and I am going to try and do it.

    Anyways, what I am doing here is this. I am going to voice record quotes from my favorite books and post them on here for your listening pleasure.

    The idea just kind of came to me, so I'm gonna attempt it.

    Feel free to make requests as well! I shall begin thusly.

    Yvaine's confession of love to Tristan - Stardust by Neil Gaiman

    “Her antiquity in preceding and surviving succeeding tellurian generations: her nocturnal predominance: her satellitic dependence: her luminary reflection: her constancy under all her phases, rising and setting by her appointed times, waxing and waning: the forced invariability of her aspect: her indeterminate response to inaffirmative interrogation: her potency over effluent and refluent waters: her power to enamour, to mortify, to invest with beauty, to render insane, to incite to and aid delinquency: the tranquil inscrutability of her visage: the terribility of her isolated dominant resplendent propinquity: her omens of tempest and of calm: the stimulation of her light, her motion and her presence: the admonition of her craters, her arid seas, her silence: her splendour, when visible: her attraction, when invisible.”
    Thanks mate love me some James Joyce.

    Ah. Ulysses. A beautiful verse. I love it.

    For you parker

    This one was really fun. I did it six or seven times before I felt like it was right.

    Aha. I have found it. My favorite quote from Fahrenheit 451. It is always hard to choose from that book, because it has so many good passages.

    Plato's Republic to Montag - Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury
