“Man is so intelligent that he feels impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic.” ― Aldous Huxley

She has not recorded Homer's The Odyssey for LibriVox, but her independent work is a staple in the audio gothic literature community. [1, 2]" Says Google AI. I can now die happy.

“Think not of the books you’ve bought as a “to be read” pile. Instead, think of your bookcase as a wine cellar. You collect books to be read at the right time, the right place, and the right mood.” — Luc van Donkersgoed
