He didn't say any more, but we've always been unusually communicative in a reserved way, and I understood that he meant a great deal more than that. In consequence, I'm inclined to reserve all judgments, a habit that has opened up many curious natures to me, and also made me the victim of not-viewed veteran bores. The abnormal mind is quick to detect and attach itself to the quality when it appears in a normal person, and so, it came about that in college, I was unjustly accused of being a politician. Because I was privy to the secrets of wild unknown men, most of the confidences were unsolved. Frequently I have finicked sleep, preoccupation or a hostile levity when I realise by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon.

Frequently I have finicked sleep, preoccupation or a hostile levity when I realise by some unmistakable sign that an intimate revelation was quivering on the horizon. the intimate revelations of young men, or at least the terms in which they express them, are usually plagiaristic and marred by obvious suppression. Reserving judgments is a matter of infinite hope, if I forgot that.

Conduct may be founded on the hard rock or the wet marshes, but after a certain point I don't care what it's founded on. When I came back from the East last autumn, I felt that I wanted to be in a world in uniform and at some sort of moral attention forever. I wanted domo-righteous excursions with privileged glimpses into the human heart. Only Gatsby, the man who gives his name to this book, was exempt from my reaction.

Dazed and breathless, Pip-Lay amidst the roots of his great oak tree. Pip-Lay.

Dazed and breathless, Pip lay in bed. Dazed and breathless, Piplay emits the roots of his great oak, the forest spinning around him. Though he was uninjured, the fall had planted a seed of deep fear within his tiny bird heart. What if he fell again? What if next time he wasn't so lucky?

Well, that's a bit difficult to go ahead and explain, actually, because the last project I had, I actually had to do an American accent. And, you know, in the beginning when I started, it was rather, you know, fun. And I thought, this is going to be great. Just do my American accent, read a few lines here and there. And then what you don't realize about an audiobook is that it's so long and so vast that you've got to be able to read for prolonged periods of time. And it's sometimes almost nerve-wracking because, you know, you have to maintain your pronunciations, you've got to make sure you're sounding American, you've got to make sure you're reading the right lines. And if you do make mistakes or, you know, something like that, you've got to go back and try and read. Because you can't even go and try and patch in things, right, when it comes to audiobooks. You either do the whole line or the whole paragraph again, or it's nothing. So, yeah, I think I did a book for Cuckoo FM, which is an app-based FM podcast slash audiobooks platform, wherein I did a book on the Russian and Ukraine war that was ongoing at that point in time. This was back in, I think, 2023. If I'm not mistaken, in and around April. And I think that was one of the most challenging audiobooks that I've ever done because of the mere fact that it was in an American accent. And trying to maintain the accent consistently throughout the book, plus being able to, you know, maintain prolonged sessions of reading, as well as editing, as well as making sure that it sounds right, there's no mispronunciations, no... Variations in words, making sure that when I said it a certain way before, it's said the same way again, especially on repeat words, because you can't sound different every time you read. And the very fact that, you know, there's a lot of times where you can't just do the whole book sitting down in one session, right? You've got to go ahead and give it some time. You sometimes end up working two to three days later on the same book. Because, I mean, unless you do have the time and you do it every day, well, that makes it a little easier. You can do it in one big go, which, quite honestly, for me was too hard. So I just went ahead and, like, did it in parts. And especially because I was doing a day job at the same time. So it was a bit more hard for me to, like, try and find a dedicated time to go ahead and just sit down and record all day or all night long. Plus the challenges of, like... The place where I lived at that point in time, it was quiet, yeah? But not always quiet. It had its fair share of, like, cars. Buses and people, birds, animals, just making noises randomly. And since I was working out of my own studio, it was a bit more challenging because I had a great setup. Like, the mic was on point. The sound card was on point. The built PC was on point. But the environment around me probably was the biggest challenge. And it being a home studio and since I'd rented out the house, you know, I didn't really have too much of room to be able to go ahead and do a lot of soundproofing and stuff like that, which is important when you're trying to record audio, especially. You need a detuned room, which basically means you need zero sounds when you're not speaking. You can't have small background noises, hissing of the fans or, you know, an air conditioner being on, stuff like that. So you need it to be dead silence, right? And then...
