And are you taking requests? I'd love to hear you read the first few pages of my favorite book: 'Skinny Legs and All' by Tom Robbins. "It was a bright, defrosted, pussy-willow day at the onset of spring, and the newleyweds were driving cross-country in a large roast turkey." I’m in. And are you taking requests?
