Fresh Audio Books

Yes I thought why not change the name of the blog to Fresh Audio Books or FAB like Fabulous. If you follow my blog from the start it will be good to renew the old name to something more easy and catchy, but I think this name is more need to remodel and more decorating ideas . So may be you want to add some ideas to the name of the blog to be something more close to your daily readings, just tip me a note.

I came up with this name to the surface when I think I collect new and updated posts everyday like fresh fruits and so. I collect these books from here and there to compile a library of materials useful to persons who travel for long times or stay at home who look for some calm materials to listen to while stay.

Hope you all enjoy and have wonderful day everyday.

Yours

The Moby-Dick Big Read Chapter 1: Loomings - Read by Tilda Swinton

The story

Call me Ishmael. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet; and especially whenever my hypos get such an upper hand of me, that it requires a strong moral principle to prevent me from deliberately stepping into the street, and methodically knocking people’s hats off- then, I account it high time to get to sea as soon as I can. This is my substitute for pistol and ball. With a philosophical flourish Cato throws himself upon his sword; I quietly take to the ship. There is nothing surprising in this. If they but knew it, almost all men in their degree, some time or other, cherish very nearly the same feelings towards the ocean with me.

'I have written a blasphemous book', said Melville when his novel was first published in 1851, 'and I feel as spotless as the lamb'. Deeply subversive, in almost every way imaginable, Moby-Dick is a virtual, alternative bible - and as such, ripe for reinterpretation in this new world of new media. Out of Dominion was born its bastard child - or perhaps its immaculate conception - the Moby-Dick Big Read: an online version of Melville's magisterial tome: each of its 135 chapters read out aloud, by a mixture of the celebrated and the unknown, to be broadcast online, one new chapter each day, in a sequence of 135 downloads, publicly and freely accessible.

Starting 16 September 2012!
