Finally listened to this tonight and I do believe you have, like, the algorithmically perfect fairy-tale-narration voice.

Welp, here's a different sorta fairytale but a fairytale all the same, by one of my absolute favorite authors of short fiction:
"The Steam Dancer (1896)," by Caitlin R. Kiernan
(Apologies for the sharpness on the sibilants/the occasional dips in volume on all these, by the way. I should probably get a proper mic one of these days.)

Actually, I lied, here's one more for the night! The opening chapters of one of the three or four books in permanent combat for the title of My Favorite: The Man Who Was Thursday: A Nightmare, by G. K. Chesterton. Widely considered the first spy novel, it's hilarious and thrilling and surreal and thought-provoking and etc. (Chesterton was a reactionary through and through and the politics of this are something I don't really agree with at all but also who fucking cares, it's rad.)
The Man Who Was Thursday - Chapters 1 and 2
(Apologies in advance for the absolutely horrifying English accents I will be attempting throughout.)

Re: "Tales In Your Shelter: A Shared Internet Claustrophy," by COVID-19
So as not to bury the lede: one of things apparently lost in my RAID failure last year was my recording of "Peter Pan and Wendy," read to my girls a few years ago. I dug for those files for 2 days after this topic posted, so I'm beyond the tears now.
In recompense, I recorded chapter 8 of The Hobbit with my wee man last night. The voice recorder on my phone was not set properly at all, but with some very light editing and several compression passes it would not hurt your ears if anyone decides to listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKLrYYl … e=youtu.be
Just read chapter 2 this afternoon (with the phone placed better), which I should manage to post tonight. He's not quite 4, and we just read this a few months ago, so we're jumping around this time to be sure he's interested in hearing whatever part we get onto.

The Man Who Was Thursday - Chapters 9 and 10
(Apologies that I'm stumbling over myself a bit more rapidly here than I was for Nevada—I can half-ass the accents better if I go fast. That said, one of my favorite bits of dialogue ever occurs pretty far into the duel chapter and I hope you're able to pinpoint which.)
