Hey, my name's Otis Gray, and you're listening to Sleepy.

A podcast where I read old books to help you get to sleep.

I hope you're having a lovely January so far.

I've got a great little kind of philosophical meandering reading for you that I really enjoyed reading myself.

And it's by an author that's never been on the show before.

New year, new authors.

And before we get to our bedtime reading,

I just want to profoundly thank all of our brand new patrons on patreon.com,

which is a great site where you can go and pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version of Sleepy.

So, this week's wonderful new patrons.

Chris Boswinkle, Petra Stolt, Virginia Perota, Terry, Joanna B.Roxan,

Foxy, Maxwell Prophetta, Aaron Powell, and Ali.

Thank you all so, so much for being a part of making this show. It really, really means a lot. And for anyone who doesn't know,

all these names that I just read are brand new supporters of Sleepy on patreon.com, which is a website

where you can go and pledge a couple bucks for an ad-free version of the show, like I said.

But generally, it's just a way to support people who make the stuff that you like directly.

So, if you would like cool perks like an ad-free version of the show or to simply just have your name read in the credits of the show, you can donate $1 for that.

There's also a poetry feed for $5 a month with all kinds of readings you've never heard before.

But again, regardless of how much you donate, it means a lot to me.

And no matter how much, I will read your name on the show.

So again, if you want to be a part of making it,

go to patreon.com slash sleepy radio.
