![]() One of the lost episodes, from December 1, 1941, featured Welles reading from Leaves of Grass. Welles produced 19 episodes, though only 8 have survived. ![]() In the same year he completely re-invented American film with Citizen Kane, he also began broadcasting the Orson Welles Show on CBS Radio, on which he and his guests gave dramatic readings from drama, poetry, and fiction. While the BBC commissioned the recordings-and Welles no doubt needed the money-he already had an affinity for Whitman. His reading was apparently very well received by the UK press. The text of the poem was too long for a full treatment, and Welles, it seems, abridged and adapted some of the work himself. The Mickle Street Review, an online journal of Whitman studies, hosts a small part of Side 1 and, it appears, all of Side 2 of the record, below. At the top, hear Welles read section VI of the poem, and directly above, hear him read the heretical section XLVIII. ![]() Fortunately, however, much of this recording has been digitally preserved. ![]() During some difficult times in the fifties-in part due to Welles’ IRS trouble-the great actor/director/multi-media impresario found work on radio plays in England, including The Lives of Harry Lime (based on his character in The Third Man) and The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes (as Moriarty). In 1953, the BBC contracted with Welles to record an hour of readings from “Song of Myself.” BBC 3 broadcast the session, and it later saw release as an LP, now sadly out of print. ![]()

I guess this is the sort of book that when you’re at that age (around 16-17), you find it great, but I’m not a teen anymore (sadly □ ) and so I guess I’ve kind of grown out of it. I found it interesting and I did kind of like it, but I felt like something was missing. It falls in the category of teen fiction, and I guess that’s why I didn’t like it all that much. But I finished the first one really fast, in about two days, and I guess it’ll be the same with the rest because it’s the type of book you can get through very fast. ![]() I’m finally feeling back on track after the weeks of reading nothing and I feel highly ambitious about reading as many books I can get my hands on □Īfter I’ve started reading this book, I wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, because it is part of a series and I usually read series books one after the other, so I won’t forget what’s going on and stuff. ![]() ![]() ![]() The Overlook (A Harry Bosch Novel #13) (Mass Market): The Closers (A Harry Bosch Novel #11) (Large Print / Hardcover):Įcho Park (A Harry Bosch Novel #12) (Large Print / Hardcover): The Narrows (A Harry Bosch Novel #10) (Large Print / Hardcover): Lost Light (A Harry Bosch Novel #9) (Large Print / Hardcover): Trunk Music (A Harry Bosch Novel #5) (Mass Market):Īngels Flight (A Harry Bosch Novel #6) (Mass Market):Ī Darkness More Than Night (A Harry Bosch Novel #7) (Mass Market):Ĭity of Bones (A Harry Bosch Novel #8) (Large Print / Hardcover): ![]() The Last Coyote (A Harry Bosch Novel #4) (Hardcover): The Concrete Blonde (A Harry Bosch Novel #3) (Hardcover): The Black Ice (A Harry Bosch Novel #2) (Hardcover): The Black Echo: A Novel (A Harry Bosch Novel #1) (Large Print / Paperback): This is book number 18 in the A Harry Bosch Novel series. ![]() ![]() ![]() Their one rule - the Winter Soulstice was the only night the fear spinning vours could take over their human hosts. Going in and locating the lost souls of those that have been invaded brings her ability to the attention of the Vours. This particular essence, however, was not controlling Reggie as they do other humans - her control over "her fear" enabled her to enter their territory (fearscapes) while they were still in control of their hosts.

When Reggie - number one good gal - and Aaron (her faithful sidekick) decipher a journal's cryptic messages, Reggie determines how to turn the tables and defeat the Vours in her personal dilema.
