Learning English as a fourth language was not easy, and I hated English courses. Reading this in college lit class made me fall in love with the English language and literature. Years later, I’m now an English Professor.
I like how Beatrice is read by a woman but the facr that the woman who works in the building isn't cracks me up lol This one of the better audio books I've listened to from Librivox. Great job to the readers.
Maybe if you knew how to analyze texts like this, it would be MUCH more interesting... you have to understand stories for their meaning and not the events.
No I agree. This story was really boring. I had to read this story and write an essay about it. The only way I could read it without falling asleep in one paragraph was through this video. I fell asleep while watching this video anyway. Concept of the story is cool, but that unnecessary corruption of normal grammar is so confusing.
TheDragonEmperor00 I agree about the grammar. I remember reading a George Orwell article complaining about “not un-“ expressions. E.g. instead of saying, “He was not uneducated,” just say he was fairly educated ffs! Not Orwell’s exact words...
Honestly this was my favorite story that we read in my class, and I didn't find it confusing to read at all, as long as you're not trying to speed-read it.

Thank you for posting this. I enjoyed the story, and I understand it for class now.
