Love it. Reminds me of those club gigs in the late 90s.

I'm enjoying the audio in your recent two pieces. Thanks for a soothing poem for the day! (I've only heard of Infinite Jest but haven't read it)

Ian has a course on it. I'm one of the many that has started but not finished. I was working on it then this daily poetry thing happened 😀

I can't remeber if it's under his paid material or not, but he goes a few chapters at a time.

I did frantically try to search last night though to make sure it was only people who watched The Entertainment and not listened to it. I think I'm 80% sure this was the case.

That reminds me, I have to start reading my favourite author's works again. For me, that would be Terry Pratchett.

You know, I think I would like his books but I never jumped in. Which book would you recommend I start with?

The one that initially caught my interest (or perhaps, reaped it) is Reaper Man. Stories involving Discworld's Death character are usually fan favourites!

The audio was a great idea, works great with the content in the poem.

Damn, if the soothingness of the voice over is the equivalent of how addictive the entertainment cartridges are, then I think I understand infinite jest a little bit better.
