0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to Story Time for Grownups. |
0:04.1 | I'm Faith Moore, and this season we're reading Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. |
0:10.1 | Each episode I'll read a few chapters from the book, |
0:13.2 | pausing from time to time to give brief explanations, so it's easier to follow along. |
0:18.5 | It's like an audiobook with built-in notes. So brew a pot of tea, |
0:23.8 | find a cozy chair, and settle in. It's story time. Happy Halloween. |
0:44.9 | If you are listening to this podcast in real time, then today is Halloween. |
0:50.3 | Happy Halloween. |
0:51.1 | I hope that you are having a wonderful one and that if you have kids and you're off to go trick-or-treating tonight, that everything goes very well, and that all the costumes work exactly as they're supposed to work, and that there is much candy in your future. |
1:04.1 | This episode of Storytime for Grownups is not particularly Halloweeny, unfortunately, I'm sorry to say, but I do have a bit of a Halloween gift for you, |
1:12.7 | which is that I was interviewed on the Great Books podcast with John Miller. It's a wonderful |
1:19.2 | podcast, and you should check it out. They just go through various books and tell you all about |
1:23.7 | them, and it's very fun, really engaging conversation. And I got to be on this podcast |
1:28.0 | to talk about the Phantom of the Opera as the kind of Halloween episode for that podcast. And |
1:35.3 | the Phantom of the Opera I've said, I think, on here before is a fantastic book. It's by Gaston |
1:39.6 | Leroux. It came out in the early 1900s. And we will eventually read this book on here. It's one of the |
1:46.3 | books on my list to do, but if you would like to hang out with me in a more Halloween way |
1:52.1 | than you are hanging out with me now, that is a really great option, and it was a really fun |
1:56.5 | conversation. I had a great time. I love that book, and I loved talking about it on that podcast. There are |
2:02.3 | spoilers. So if you listen to the show, you will get spoilers for the Phantom of the Opera by Gaston |
2:07.6 | Leroux. But nothing too major and especially if you've seen like a movie of it or the musical or |
2:13.8 | something like that, I don't think that you're going to be upset or disappointed that you |
