La vie décousue

I hope you enjoyed Cutler’s Stor­ies of King Arthur and His Knights. I do love those Arthur­ian legends…

I recently dis­covered the Urban Fantasy genre, and have got­ten hooked. In the last month, I have read all of Char­laine Har­ris’ South­ern Vam­pire series, Patri­cia Briggs’ Mer­cedes Thompson and Alpha and Omega series, Lynn Viehl’s Darkyn series, Alyson Noel’s Immor­tals series (not recom­men­ded), and Lori Han­deland’s Phoenix Chron­icles (not recom­men­ded). If you haven’t figured it out, I read fast (when I’m not read­ing aloud). I think I’ve been aver­aging around 2 or 3 books a day (I’ve also been tak­ing a break from work). Any­way, in keep­ing with this theme, I will be record­ing Théo­phile Gau­tier’s Clar­i­monde, aka La Morte Amoureuse. The links con­tain major spoil­ers, so if you haven’t heard or read the story before, I sug­gest wait­ing

Record­ings of the KJV bible con­tinue. I am sure that I am mis-pronouncing many of the names, so please for­give me for that. If any­one can point me to a web page with pro­noun­ci­ations of Bib­lical names and places, that would be fant­astic. Just a reminder for those of you who like to keep the record­ings — I highly recom­mend down­load­ing them from Lib­rivox cata­logue. The record­ings I provide on this site are my first drafts, provided for those of you who can’t wait. Once each book is com­pleted, they are checked and any errors are fixed before Lib­rivox cata­logues them.

I haven’t decided yet what I will do after Clar­i­monde. It’s prob­ably time to do some­thing reli­gious, but I’m not sure whether I should do some­thing easy to read like an Andrew Mur­ray work, or some­thing meatier.
