The voice is reading the book flawlessly. I wonder how many 'takes' it took. Did she practice reading once before so that she will get the intonations right? Or can you just get the drift of the story so well that you can afford to read aloud a random book, with no mistakes? I have tried and got a good deal of things wrong. If any soul is reading this, have you ever tried reading a book aloud? Have you listened to yourself? What do you think of it?
Someone* has commissioned me to write things that are NOT certain things. I have accepted it, more as a challenge to get me out of a... spell. Very early, I realized that rather than creating something absolutely new, I was rather good at putting together things or observing and narrating something. I am almost convinced now that no one actually creates something absolutely new. Every one takes inspiration from somewhere and incubates that embryo+.
* I,Sojourner
+ the usage of that word is no coincidence. In my little universe, there's a baby boom of sorts.

"You know, I guess I don't say it often enough, but you are good a kid."
"Thanks dad. You know, there is something I don't say often enough..."
"No. There is nothing you don't say often enough."
"Six months ago my wife left me. It was painful. But then, you know, she came back... it was excruciating."
"you know what I think about that subject?"
"Yes, I know about everything you think. When was the last time you had an unexpressed thought?"
"I am having one right now."
"I thought you liked my Maris?"
"Oh I do like her... from a distance. You know the way you like the sun? Maris is like the sun... except without the warmth".

Palindromes read better in reverse don't they? Even though it is the same thing in the normal direction?
eagerly awaiting some inspiration,
I can smell the dampness,
feel the dimming light,
taste the temperature,
see the music,
and hear the dance...
in this wanton melee of emotions,
something has been mistaken for happiness :)
