John Keats - Ode to a Nightingale (read by Benedict Cumberbatch)
FUCK
YES
Oh my god. I’m in love with him.
Put headphones in, lose your eyes and listen. I have no idea what he was saying, but it was magical.
“Before the two sat down to chat about their careers, they were filmed separately, with the producers cutting back and forth between them. Each was asked to explain how they’d first met. It was at Cambridge in 1980, and Laurie was playing Fry a song he’d written; that far, their recollections tallied. But then… Fry: “He had this guitar – £5, came from Woolworths.”
Laurie: “Absolute b———s. That guitar didn’t come from Woolworths. It was a Yamaha guitar – £75. I’ve still got it.”
Fry: “Any time anyone gave him a more expensive guitar or better guitar, he didn’t like it as much as this Woolworths guitar.”
Laurie: “Now I doubt everything he’s ever said to me.” That mismatch isn’t merely to do with memory; it’s to do with temperament, worldview. Fry’s recollection was mistily sentimental; Laurie’s, matter-of-fact.” —Fry and Laurie Reunited, G.O.L.D., review - Telegraph

Your Kindle's name is nice!
Thanks! Comes from my current obsession with (obviously) Star Trek. (I’m also obsessed with Sherlock Holmes. I had a SHERLOCK TREK dream last night; it was awesome. I met some aliens and then we solved mysteries.)
