you’ve been traumatized into hating reading (and it makes you easier to oppress). (ismatu.substack.com)

The ruling class wants you to be literate enough to understand their written orders. And nothing more. True literacy is punk. True literacy is revolutionary.

If you look at this article and think "this is too long to read" you're part of the target audience. Make the time.

They also have a lot of dramatisations on there. That means different actors read the different parts, sound effects, etc. It's basically like listening to a movie.

Let me know if you need help finding somewhere to begin. The BBC's been around for a while and they have A LOT of stuff on there, and it's only the tip of the iceberg as they regularly change it.

Hell, why not start with some Terry Pratchett. Mort. That's not on the BBC sounds site at the moment, but here it is on Archive.org:

Or perhaps you want to show off. Here's a dramatisation of Dostoyevsky's The Brother's Karamazov:

Stars at least one of the actors from their adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Mort, funnily enough.
